Tea Party

 

We went to a tea party at our local museum and had an absolute blast, so we decided to have some tea parties at home. We bought a tea party recipe book at Barnes and Noble that provided us with most of these recipes. I got the tablecloth, paper plates, and tiered tray from Walmart. 

The mini pies and quiche were a huge hit. For the pies, I added 1 cup of frozen sweet pitted cherries, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 Tbsp cornstarch, and 1 Tbsp of water in a medium saucepan. Heat on medium heat and cook until thickened (about 5 minutes). Let it cool for about 10 minutes.  I used a 2 1/2 inch circle to cut out pieces of refrigerated pie crust. Spray a mini muffin pan and add the pie crust to the muffin pan. Then fill with the cherry mixture. Any remaining cups I had, I put strawberry and raspberry jam in. Bake the pies at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes. 

Cut another pie crust in 2 1/2 inch circles and add to a sprayed mini muffin pan. You get about 24 muffin cups out of one pie crust. Whisk 3 eggs, 1/3 cup milk, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Add about a Tbsp of the egg mixture to each muffin tin. Dice up about 1/2 cup of ham pieces. Add some to each muffin tin. Then sprinkle 1/4 cup of cheese across the muffin tins. Bake at 375 for about 25 minutes.
