Paper-Wrapped Quiches

Have you noticed how, twice a year : in July and January, one turns to healthier options, last July I mentioned a recipe from a book published by Quadrille "Lighten Up" by Jill Dupleix. She is an award winner of the Guild of Food Writers for her work on Healthy eating, more over she offers an healthy version of one of my old-time wickedy-weakness "Cheddar & Bacon flantastic".
These tasty morsels take about 1/2 hour to make, each quiche contains 120 calories & 8grs of fat - oh yes, I am getting obsessed with these details again. They look fun and fun is good.
