I love a nice, civilized Brunch, don’t you? It’s so nice to have the extra time to sit with friends and family enjoying delicious food and wonderful conversation. A while ago I hosted a Sunday Spring Brunch at my house. It was such a great time, and the food was so enjoyable.

One of my very favorite foods I served at brunch were these
Mini Mexi Bites. They were so delicious and creamy, with a bit of a bite
that everyone loved. They were easy to make, and the recipe
was courtesy of Land O’Lakes! There are so many incredible recipes
on their web site, so here is a teaser to give you a hint of the
recipes Land O’Lakes has to offer!
Mini Mexi Bites
2 Land O’Lakes All Natural Eggs
1/4 cup Milk
2 tablespoons chopped, roasted Red Pepper
2 tablespoons sliced Green Onions
2 tablespoons chopped Fresh Cilantro
1/4 teaspoon Salt
6 ounces shredded, Hot Pepper Jack Cheese
1 box refrigerated Pie Crusts, at room temperature
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray 24 mini muffin pan cups with no stick cooking spray.
I started off by roasting my own red pepper.
I usually do this on the grill, but this works too.
It actually works quite well. I used my tongs to heat the
pepper over the flame. I kept turning it until it was roasted
all over.
I put the pepper in a bowl
and covered the bowl with plastic wrap. The moisture
created from the heat of the just roasted pepper covered
with plastic helps the skin lift up and it makes it easy to remove it.
I peeled the skin off of the pepper….
and it soon looked like this.
Then I chopped it up into small pieces.
Combine all your ingredients except for the
cheese and the pie crust.
Add the cheese and set aside.
Cut each pie crust into 12 rounds using a 2 1/2″
round cookie cutter.
Gently press 1 pie crust round into each muffin cup.
Evenly pour egg mixture into crust lined muffin cups.
Bake for 23-33 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve and enjoy!
