MINI QUICHE
Recipe video above. Each filling below makes 24 mini quiches, so USE ONE FILLING. If you want to make more than 1, scale the filling recipe DOWN (use the slider below). A quick blind bake will ensure the pastry doesn't go soggy and it cooks through in the short time it takes for the filling to bake!

SIMPLE ROMAINE SALAD
This is a take on a very simple and delicious salad I had at a Greek restaurant in NYC. It's so easy and the end result is super satisfying. Of course you can add your favorite herbs and toppings. But we find the lightly dressed salad is amazing and a great accompaniment to meat. Sprinkle with the salt right before serving; that pop of flavor and crunch is so good. Finishing salt is a must for this salad.

Steps:
- Roll each lemon on the countertop with the palm of your hand, using gentle pressure (this will help release the juices). Cut 1 lemon in half; squeeze juice from each half. Use enough lemons until you have 1/4 cup lemon juice. Peel and finely chop the garlic. In a tightly covered jar or container, shake lemon juice, garlic, oil, salt and pepper.
- Remove any limp outer leaves from the romaine and discard. Break remaining leaves off the core; rinse with cool water. Shake off excess water and blot to dry, or roll up the leaves in a clean kitchen towel or paper towel to dry. Tear the leaves into bite-size pieces. You will need about 10 cups of romaine pieces.
- Peel the onion; slice onion and separate into rings.
- In a large glass or plastic bowl, place the romaine, onion, olives and artichoke hearts (with liquid). Shake the vinaigrette again to mix ingredients. Pour vinaigrette over the salad ingredients, and toss with 2 large spoons or salad tongs until evenly coated.
- Sprinkle the croutons and cheese over the salad. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
- Don't overmix the quiche batter: Overmixing can make the quiche tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the quiche will taste.
- Blind-bake the quiche crust: This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
- Don't overcook the quiche: The quiche is done when the center is just set. Overcooking will make the quiche dry.
- Serve the quiche warm or at room temperature: Quiche is best served warm or at room temperature. If you are serving it cold, make sure to let it come to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Conclusion:
Mini quiche with romaine lettuce salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
