2 eggs
2 cloves garlic minced
2 ounces of goat cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1/4 cup finely chopped white onion
1 cup heavy cream
2 scallions, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

1.    Preheat over to 375 degrees
2.    Spray muffin pan with non-stick spray
3.    Take frozen crust and cut pieces large enough to cover the bottom of each muffin cup
4.    In a skillet add butter, oil,onions & sugar. Cook onions on medium low heat until caramelized (15 to 20 minutes)
5.    Add scallions and chives. Cook 2 to 3 minutes.
6.    In a bowl whisk together the eggs, cream, garlic & salt.
7.    Add cooked onion to egg mixtures.
8.    Pour into muffin pan.
