These were great! Dinner party guests kept asking for more. I'm not sure if I'll use so much coarse-grain mustard next time, maybe 1.5 teaspoons next time. Great recipe! Thanks for posting.

I really enjoyed this recipe, I omitted the mustard and added some herbes de provence. I was wanting for a little more egg in the tarts, it was rather doughy. I loved the sweetness the carmelized onions added, I also topped mine off with a bit of mozzarella cheese.

Great recipe! So easy to make and so very tasty. The flavours of the mustard and onion go so well in this recipe. They turned out so perfect and so tasty! I have also frozen a batch to see if they freeze well. Thanks Stardustannie I will be making these again!

Mmmm what tasty little snacks! The onion and mustard really sets things off and gives them a great unique flavour.

Onions, bacon, mustard...how could this be anything but delicious? It was very easy to make and my DH enjoyed them very much, especially since they don't have any cheese, which he doesn't like to eat. I halved the amount for 12 quiches and the amount of the filling was perfect, as was the custard. I will make these for my grandkids one day for a little picnic lunch. Thanks for a fun recipe!
