Yield 8 (makes 24)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper
1 Tbsp fresh grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
3 Tbsp cold ice water
3 cups broccoli rabe
1/2 cup mushrooms, diced
2 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
1 cup skim, 1%, 2%, or whole milk
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 cup aged cheddar, grated

Steps:

  • Directions 1. In a large bowl combine the flour, salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese. 2. Add the butter to the flour and work the mixture between your fingers, breaking down the pieces of butter until the flour and butter is nice and crumbly. No large pieces of butter should remain. 3. Slowly drizzle in a tbsp at a time of ice cold water, stirring with a wooden spoon as you go. With one hand, gently knead the dough in the bowl until it comes together. Flatten into a disc and wrap with Saran wrap. Place into the fridge for 30 minutes. 4. Preheat the oven to 375ºF. 5. Bring a large pot of water to boil. Once boiling, add the broccoli rabe and cook until tender, approximately 5 minutes. Drain the broccoli rabe and place onto a few paper towels. Once cool enough to touch, squeeze out the remaining water. Dice and set to the side. 6. In a small frying pan, fry the mushroom until soft. Set to the side. 7. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, yolk, milk, and salt. Pour the mixture through a sieve into a pourable measuring cup. 8. Remove the dough from the fridge. Sprinkle the counter and rolling pin with flour. Roll the dough 1/4″ thick. Cut out circles using a 3" round cookie cutter or the bottom of a glass. Using a 24 serving mini muffin pan, press the dough rounds into the cups. 9. Add a few pieces of cheese to the tart shells. Then layer the mushrooms and broccoli rabe to 3/4 full. Pour the egg mixture into the shells just about to the top. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Place in the oven on the middle rack and bake for 30 minutes. 10. Remove from the oven and let cool. Pop out the mini quiches with a knife. Serve warm, or let cool completely and store in the fridge for a week or the freezer for 3 months. Reheat in the oven set at 350ºF for 10 minutes to warm.

BROCCOLI AND CHEESE MINI QUICHE



Broccoli and Cheese Mini Quiche image

These delicious little quiche's are BURSTING with flavor and will please any guest, morning or evening!

Provided by chefymomma

Categories     Breakfast

Time 45m

Yield 6 large muffins, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup milk
4 eggs (slightly beaten)
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1 pinch pepper
1 pinch salt
1 3/4 cups cheddar cheese (shredded)
1 1/2 cups frozen broccoli florets
1 medium yellow onion (chopped )
3 slices sourdough bread (or favorite type of bread)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 derees.
  • Prepare muffin tins with cooking spray. I used larger muffin tins but size doesn't necessarily matter.
  • Place 3 thick slices of bread in oven on the rack for about 4 minutes. Just long enough for the bread to get toasted. Upon removing bread from the oven, cut each piece of bread into 4 pieces. Place one piece of toasted bread in each tin.
  • In a skillet, saute 2T. butter with onion until onion is soft and browned.
  • In medium bowl, combine milk, eggs, dry mustard, and pepper; set aside.
  • Layer cheese, broccoli and onion around the bread in the muffin tin. Pour egg mixture over bread, cheese, onion and broccoli.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes before serving.
  • Makes 6 large muffin tin quiche's.

Tips:

  • Use fresh broccoli rabe. Fresh broccoli rabe has a more bitter flavor than cooked broccoli rabe, which is what you want for this recipe. If you can't find fresh broccoli rabe, you can use frozen broccoli rabe, but be sure to thaw it and squeeze out as much excess water as possible before using.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli rabe. Broccoli rabe should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. If you overcook it, it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a good quality cheddar cheese. The cheddar cheese is one of the main ingredients in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. Look for a cheddar cheese that is sharp and flavorful.
  • Don't overfill the quiche cups. The quiche cups should be filled about 2/3 full. If you overfill them, the quiche will overflow and make a mess.
  • Bake the quiche until it is set. The quiche is done baking when it is set in the center. You can check this by inserting a toothpick into the center of the quiche. If the toothpick comes out clean, the quiche is done.

Conclusion:

Broccoli rabe and cheddar mini quiches are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or brunch item. They're perfect for a party or a potluck, and they can also be made ahead of time and reheated. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying snack, give these broccoli rabe and cheddar mini quiches a try!
