Ingredients
- 1 refrigerated pie crust, such as pillsbury™, softened as directed on box
- 1 egg white, slightly beaten
- 1 11-ounce bag frozen broccoli, such as green giant™ steamers™ tuscan seasoned broccoli
- ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (about 2 ounces)
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup chopped red onion
- ⅓ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained on paper towels
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Unroll a pie crust on a work surface. Using a 2-inch round cutter, cut 24 rounds from the crust, rerolling the dough as necessary. Press 1 round in the bottom and up the sides of each of 24 ungreased mini muffin cups; brush lightly with the egg white. Bake for 8 minutes.
- Meanwhile, microwave the broccoli as directed on the bag; drain. Cool slightly, then finely chop. In a small bowl, mix the cheese and mayonnaise.
- Spoon slightly less than ½ teaspoon of the onion and about ¼ teaspoon of the tomatoes into each cup. Top with 1 tablespoon broccoli (cups will be full). Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the mayonnaise mixture on top of each cup.
- Bake until the crust is light golden brown and the cheese melts, 16 to 20 minutes. Immediately remove from the pan to a serving plate. Serve warm.
