Time 55m

Yield 24 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying the muffin tin
One 14.1-ounce package refrigerated pie crusts
3/4 cup half-and-half
1 large egg plus 1 large egg yolk
1 pinch cayenne
2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
1/3 cup finely chopped thick-sliced ham (about 2 ounces)

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a nonstick 24-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray.

  • Whisk the half-and-half, egg and egg yolk, cayenne and some salt and pepper together in a medium bowl until very well combined. Stir in the chives and transfer to a liquid measuring cup.

300g shortcrust pastry

4 rashers back bacon , fat trimmed, chopped

Steps:

  • Roll the pastry out onto a lightly floured work surface until very thin. Cut out circles that are 1cm larger in diameter than the tartlet tins. Line the tins with the pastry circles (you may need to bake these in batches if you do not have enough tins) pressing into the edges and up the sides. Re-roll any pastry offcuts until you've lined all the tins, then chill for 30 mins (if you're baking in batches, chill the off-cuts too).

  • Divide the bacon and half the cheese between the cases. Beat the eggs and cream together, then pour over the bacon and cheese until the cases are almost full. Scatter over the remaining cheese. Bake for 20-25 mins until golden and puffed up. Leave to cool, then chill before serving. Can be made a day ahead.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality pastry. A good quality pastry will make all the difference to your quiche. Look for a pastry that is light and flaky, and that will hold its shape well when baked.
  • Don't overmix the pastry. Overmixing the pastry will make it tough. Mix the pastry just until it comes together, and then stop.
  • Chill the pastry before baking. Chilling the pastry before baking will help it to keep its shape and will also prevent it from shrinking.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The fresher and higher quality the ingredients you use, the better your quiche will be. Use fresh vegetables, eggs, and cheese.
  • Don't overfill the quiche. Overfilling the quiche will make it difficult to cook evenly. Fill the quiche no more than two-thirds full.
  • Bake the quiche in a preheated oven. A preheated oven will help the quiche to cook evenly.
  • Let the quiche cool slightly before serving. This will help the quiche to set and will also make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Quiche is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables and cheese. With a little planning and effort, you can make a quiche that is sure to impress your family and friends.
