Quiche

• Mini quiches are great for lunch or entertaining. Cut prepared pie crust into circles with a glass or cookie cutter and line cupcake tin sections with them. Mix together 6 eggs and half a cup of milk. Pour equal amounts into each pie crust, filling halfway. Top with quiche filling favorites, such as ham cubes and shredded Swiss cheese or chopped broccoli and shredded cheddar. Bake in a 325 degree oven for half an hour, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  
  

Mini meat loaves

• For fun meals for the kids or for portion control for dieting, individual meat loaves are a great option. Make your favorite meat loaf mix and divide into 12 equal portions. Fill each cup in pan with meatloaf mix and top with tomato sauce or barbeque sauce as desired. Bake in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through.
  
  

Cheesecake

• Individual cheesecakes are more elegant to serve than slices of a large cake. Fill the bottom of each cupcake pan cup with graham cracker crumbs or cookie crumbs. Using a commercial mix, pour cheesecake filling mix until pans are half full. Bake as directed and cool before removing from the pan. Top with berries as desired.
  
  

Ice cream cupcakes

• For a treat for your child to take to school, ice cream cupcakes are a nice surprise. Set flat-bottomed cake ice cream cones into the cups of a cupcake pan to keep them upright. Fill each cone with your favorite cake batter, filling 2/3 up the cone. Bake as directed for cupcakes. When cupcakes have cooled, pile frosting on top to look like ice cream, and decorate with sprinkles.
