MINI QUICHES (CRUSTLESS)
A great easy cook ahead dish. I like to make these for my boys to eat for breakfast on the go. Good reheated in the microwave. They freeze wonderfully. I often make these with bratwurst sausage and a teaspoon of leftover Knorr® vegetable-spinach dip. Add mushrooms or olives if you like. You can get creative with ingredients.

CRUSTLESS COTTAGE CHEESE MINI QUICHES
These crustless cottage cheese quiches are simple to make and vegetables can be interchanged with what you have. If you want a knock off of the pricey souffle sold at a local cafe chain, just add puff pastry to the bottom of a pie tin.

CRUSTLESS MINI QUICHES
Here's a quiche recipe that goes wheat free without skimping on flavor. We call for broccoli and Cheddar cheese, but you can trade out the broccoli for asparagus tips or halved cherry tomatoes and the Cheddar for Gruyère, Swiss, or Comté.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray two 24-cup mini muffin pans with cooking spray or line with paper liners.
- 2. Have ready a bowl of ice water. Bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the broccoli and blanch until bright green and softened but still crisp, about 30 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, transfer immediately to the ice water to stop the cooking. When cool, drain thoroughly and pat dry. Chop coarsely and set aside.
- 3. In a bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, egg yolks, milk, cream, salt, and pepper. (If you like, heat a small frying pan over medium-low heat, pour in about 1 tbsp of the mixture, and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, just until soft curds form and are cooked through. Taste and adjust the seasoning.) Transfer to a large glass measuring pitcher.
- 4. Place the prepared muffin pans on 1 or 2 rimmed baking sheets to catch any drips. Add a few small pieces of broccoli and a generous pinch of cheese to each of the cups. Pour the egg mixture over the broccoli and cheese in each cup, filling as many as you can to just below the rim. Add a small piece of broccoli and a pinch of cheese to the top of each quiche.
- 5. Bake until the tops are puffed and just beginning to brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer to wire racks and let cool for about 5 minutes, then turn the quiches out of the pans, arrange on a platter or individual plates, and serve.
MINI CRUSTLESS QUICHES WITH MUSHROOMS AND SWISS CHARD
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray the cavities of a 12-cup muffin tin with the cooking spray.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the onion, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the chard and mushrooms and cook until the chard wilts and mushrooms release their moisture, 5 to 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Whisk the eggs with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese and a few dashes of hot sauce in a large bowl, preferably with a spout. Season with salt and pepper.
- Evenly divide the chard mixture between the muffin cups. Pour the egg mixture over the top and stir each cup with a fork to make sure the ingredients are evenly distributed. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 to 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan and bake until slightly golden and a toothpick or butter knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
- Loosen the mini crustless quiches from the muffin cups with a rubber spatula and transfer to a platter for serving.

Use your blender. I serve ours with steamed broccoli and a salad. Try adding leftover cooked spaghetti, cut into 1 inch pieces, to each compartment after bread crumbs are sprinkled into each compartment.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Coat 12 standard size muffin cups with cooking spray; sprinkle evenly with breadcrumbs.
- Using blender, combine cheese, half-and-half, mayonnaise, eggs, flour, tarragon, salt, and pepper in blender jar.
- Process until well blended.
- Fill each cup with about a 1 1/2 tablespoons of meat choice, and 1 tablespoon each of mushrooms and 1 teaspoon each of onion.
- Pour equal amounts of egg mixture over each.
- Cups will be about half full.
- Bake 22 minutes, or until quiches are lightly golden and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Note: The quiches will be puffy when removed from oven, but deflate rapidly.
Tips:
- Prepare Ingredients in Advance: Before beginning, make sure all necessary ingredients are measured, chopped, and ready to use. This will streamline the cooking process and prevent any delays.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: The quality of the ingredients used directly impacts the taste of the quiches. Opt for fresh vegetables, herbs, and cheese to ensure the best flavor.
- Don't Overfill the Quiche Cups: Pour the quiche mixture into the prepared cups, filling them about 3/4 full. Overfilling may cause the quiches to spill over during baking.
- Adjust Cooking Time Based on Size: If using muffin cups larger or smaller than the standard size, adjust the baking time accordingly. Smaller cups may require less time, while larger cups might need a few extra minutes.
- Check for Doneness: Insert a toothpick or skewer into the center of a quiche. If it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached, the quiche is ready. Overbaking can make the quiches dry and rubbery.
