Best 5 Makeover Mini Bacon Quiches Recipes

MINI BACON CHEESE QUICHE WITH PUFF PASTRY

Steps:

• Heat a little oil in a medium frying pan and cook bacon until brown. When cooked, place the bacon on absorbent paper and cool. Dice the bacon into tiny pieces and put them aside for later.
• Finely slice the spring onion and grate the cheese. Put these aside.
• Next, prepare the wet filling. In a medium bowl (or jug) mix the heavy cream, milk, and eggs until well combined, season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Lightly grease the insides of the mini muffin tin.
• If your puff pastry comes unrolled, you will need to roll it out thin before cutting into rounds. Use a round cookie cutter to cut circles of dough to line the insides of the mini muffin tins.
• Place the rounds in the cups of the prepared muffin tin. Carefully push the pastry to the bottom of the cups and gently press the pleated pastry to the sides. The pastry should be level with the top of the muffin tin. Note: You don't need to blind bake the pastry before adding the filling.
• Divide the onions, bacon, and cheese evenly between the pasty-lined muffin cups.
• Carefully pour the creamy egg filling into each of the muffin cups. The liquid should be level with the top of the muffin tin.
• Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and allow to stand in the tins for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.

MINI QUICHES WITH PEAS AND BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Add the bacon to a medium skillet, turn the heat to medium high and cook until browned and crispy on both sides, about 7 minutes. Drain on paper towels, then dice. Set aside.
• To a medium bowl, add the eggs, heavy cream, paprika, cayenne, Dijon and some salt and pepper; whisk to combine. Add the bacon, peas and Gruyere; fold to combine. Set aside.
• Unroll the pie dough and cut out 7 rounds using a 3-inch round cookie cutter. (If necessary, roll out the scraps and cut out more rounds.) Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray. Press each dough round into a muffin tin cup, crimping the edges.
• Divide the egg mixture between the 7 pie dough cups. Bake until just set, about 30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

MINI BACON QUICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚. Roll out 1 sheet of pie dough on a lightly floured surface until very thin and about 14 inches in diameter. Cut out 12 rounds with a 2 3/4- to 3-inch cookie cutter. Repeat with the remaining sheet of pie dough. Press the rounds firmly into each cup of a 24-cup mini-muffin pan (preferably nonstick). Lightly prick the bottoms and sides with a fork.
• Bake the crusts until lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a small skillet over medium heat, turning, until crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain, then finely chop. Whisk the eggs, heavy cream and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a bowl until well combined.
• Sprinkle the bacon in the bottom of each crust. Fill with the egg mixture and top with chives. Bake until just set, about 15 minutes (it's OK if some egg leaks through the pastry). Let cool 10 minutes, then remove from the pan.

Steps:

• Sprinkle each pastry crust with 1 teaspoon flour; place floured side down on a lightly floured surface. Cut 12 circles from each crust, using a 2-1/2 in. round biscuit cutter. Press dough onto the bottom and up the sides of miniature muffin cups coated with cooking spray; set aside., In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of mixture into each prepared crust. Bake at 400° for 14-18 minutes or until filling is set. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm.

MINI BACON QUICHE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place bacon slices in a single layer on a bacon rack or foil-lined, rimmed baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap.
• Bake in the preheated oven until browned and crisp, 10 to 11 minutes. Remove from the pan and drain bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate.
• Increase the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with some of the rendered bacon fat.
• Saute onion and garlic in a little bacon fat over medium heat until translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Beat milk, eggs, and cream in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add spinach, Cheddar cheese, and the cooked onion mixture. Season with salt and pepper and mix with a spatula to combine.
• Make a ring of bacon by running a slice around the sides of each muffin cup. Scoop egg mixture into the center of each bacon ring.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 15 minutes.
