Ingredients:
1 refrigerated pie crust (from a 15 oz. box), soften as directed on box
1 pkg. (3 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1 whole egg
1 egg yolk
1/4 c. chopped green onions (4 medium)
3 oz. shredded Swiss cheese (about 2/3 c.)
8 slices precooked bacon, chopped (about 1/2 c.)
Additional finely chopped green onions, if desired

Directions:
Heat oven to 425 degrees.  Spray 16 mini muffin cups with cooking spray.  Unroll pie crust on a work surface.  Using a 2 1/2 inch round cutter, cut 16 rounds from crust; discard any remaining crust.  Place 1 crust round in each muffin cup, pressing down gently to form cup.

In blender or food processor, blend or process cream cheese, whole egg, egg yolk and 1/4 c. onions until almost smooth.  Divide mixture evenly among crust-lined muffin cups (about 2 tsp. each).  Top each evenly with Swiss cheese and bacon.

Bake 9-11 minutes or until edges are light golden brown.  Cook 5 minutes; remove cups from pan.  Garnish each with additional onions.
