Directions

1 Heat oven to 425°F. Spray 16 mini muffin cups with cooking spray. Unroll pie crust on work surface. Using 2 1/2-inch round cutter, cut 16 rounds from crust; discard any remaining crust. Place 1 crust round in each muffin cup, pressing down gently to form cup.
2 In blender or food processor, blend or process cream cheese, whole egg, egg yolk and 1/4 cup onions until almost smooth. Divide mixture evenly among crust-lined muffin cups (about 2 teaspoons each). Top each evenly with Swiss cheese and bacon.
3 Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 5 minutes; remove cups from pan. Garnish each with additional onions.

These were okay, but the cream cheese didn't appeal to my family. My husband suggested leaving the cream cheese out and adding more eggs, bacon and cheese to it.

This recipe was delicious! It is not hard to make and tastes fabulous! They look so cute too so it makes it look like it took a lot of time and effort when it was really very easy. The most time consuming part was cooking the bacon, but real bacon always tastes better than substitutes. It is a perfect brunch dish!

Wonton/Gyoza Wraps can also be used with any variation of ingredients. Make sure to grease mini-muffin cups and brush wraps with butter prior to baking so they don't dry out. Huge hit at parties. This is actually an old Pillsbury Recipe and used Broccoli, Parmesan Cheese, Black Olives as my main ingredients. Thanks Pillsbury, they are always a hit!
