Bacon Quiche Tarts

Ingredients

• 1 package (14.1 ounces) refrigerated pie crusts
• 6 bacon strips, diced

• 1/2 cup chopped green pepper
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup half-and-half cream
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper

2. In a skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels with a slotted spoon; set aside. In the same skillet, saute onion and green pepper until tender. Drain.
3. In a small bowl, whisk eggs, cream, salt and pepper. Stir in the bacon, onion, green pepper and cheese. Spoon about 2 tablespoons into each muffin cup.
