Am wanting to make these for my birthday work shout, would they work in mini size? And if anyone has made them before how long would I cook them for?

Our caterers them at work and they are fine.I don't think the cooking time would differ - round 10 minutes but just watch them and take them out when the bread edges start to brown.

Thanks heaps :-)
Do you know of quantities to use? There were some good recipes listed but none with proper quantities. Am wanting to make egg, cheese, bacon and creamed corn ones

No I just add things till it looks right but you'd only need about 2/3 of a cup of filling per 1 dozen mini muffins so I think if you used an egg,2 tbspns of milk, 1/4 cup grated cheese,1/4 cup creamed corn and a little finely diced lightly cooked bacon.Miz and pour into muffin tins making sure you spread the solids evenly you'd be fine.It's not too precise.You could use an extra egg and reduced the corn if you preferred.

Sweet sounds good! Was rifling through the Edmonds cook book and found quantities there anyway for their pastry ones which would be the same

Mmm i think a little dash of sweet chilli sauce would make it delish!

Well I made a practise batch last night with not mini but smaller muffin/aptty tins from my grandma and they are pretty tasty!!
I waited till they had cooled then put them in the fridge on a plate covered in gladwrap and today they are a bit soggy :-(
How can I keep them so they will be crunchy the next day? Or will I have to get up early before work and cook them?

Bake the cases the day before or even a couple of days in advance, store in airtight container. Don't fill until just before wanting them.When ready to use put back in trays if wanted fill with premade filling and heat.I make a thick white or cheese sauce and just change flavouring to suit. ie chicken and asparagus, ham and cheese, smoked fish and dill etc.

We don't have an oven to cook them in at work tho!
Could I do a white sauce base in the microwave and then add the other ingredients?

Yes you can make white sauce in the microwave and do the fillings that way. Do you have a pie warmer or maybe you can borrow one?Just a thought.If so fill at home and heat in the pie warmer.

There is a very little bench top oven, I guess its a pie warmer but we have 20 staff and it would fit probably only up to 10 at a push!
My white sauce making skills are nil tho, it would have to packet stuff? lol

You could but have you tried making it in the microwave - very hard to go wrong.

No I haven't I might give it a go this wknd, I think I'd leave out the egg tho and do a sauce/ingredients mixture
