Categories     main-dish

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.

MINI QUICHE 4 WAYS



Mini Quiche 4 Ways image

Many nights, I have about a half serving of vegetables left over. What do you do with a couple of tablespoons of cooked broccoli or spinach no one had room for at dinner? What about that odd slice of ham, or the extra slice of prosciutto that you didn't need for a recipe? Here's a way to use up lots of little "extras" and jazz up your weekend brunch.

Provided by Bibi

Time 1h30m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 23

16 (4 inch) frozen tart shells, thawed
8 tablespoons grated Cheddar cheese
2 slices cooked bacon
4 tablespoons diced green bell pepper
4 tablespoons diced ham
4 tablespoons chopped, cooked broccoli
½ teaspoon dried thyme, divided
8 tablespoons grated Gruyere cheese
4 tablespoons cooked onions
4 tablespoons cooked mushrooms
½ teaspoon garlic powder, divided
2 thin slices prosciutto, diced
¼ cup cooked chopped spinach
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
6 large eggs
1 cup heavy cream
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 medium cherry tomatoes, halved lengthwise
4 teaspoons diced red onion
4 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
2 teaspoons minced fresh basil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 12x18-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place tart shells on the prepared baking sheet and prick the sides and bottoms with a fork.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. The partial cook will help keep the pastry crispy on the bottom. Allow shells to cool slightly, in the pan, about 10 minutes.
  • To make the mini-quiches: when shells are cooled but still warm, place 1 tablespoon Cheddar cheese in the bottom of 8 of the partially-baked tart shells. To 4 of the Cheddar-filled shells, add 1/2 piece of bacon, crumbled, and 1 tablespoon bell pepper. To the remaining 4 Cheddar-filled shells, add 1 tablespoon diced ham, 1 tablespoon broccoli, and 1/8 teaspoon thyme.
  • Place 1 tablespoon Gruyere on the bottom of remaining partially-baked tart shells. To each of 4 of the Gruyere-filled shells, add 1 tablespoon cooked onion, 1 tablespoon of cooked, minced mushrooms, and 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder. To each of the remaining Gruyere-filled shells, add 1/4 of the diced prosciutto, 1 tablespoon cooked spinach, 1/8 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend, and a pinch of nutmeg, if using, to taste.
  • Briskly stir eggs together with cream, salt, and pepper in a medium mixing bowl. Pour 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of the egg mixture into each of the 16 filled shells.
  • Top the bacon/bell pepper mini quiches with a cherry tomato half. Top the ham/broccoli mini quiches with 1 teaspoon diced red onion. Top the onion/mushroom mini quiches with 1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley, and top the prosciutto/spinach mini quiches with 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh basil.
  • Place mini quiches in the oven, and reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake until the egg mixture is set and the crust is lightly browned, 30 to 35 minutes. Allow to cool on a rack, about 10 minutes. Serve warm.

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.

Time 1h20m

Yield Makes 18-20

Number Of Ingredients 8

300g shortcrust pastry
plain flour , for dusting
4 rashers back bacon , fat trimmed, chopped
oil , for frying
100g gruyère cheese , grated
2 medium eggs
125ml double cream
18-20 mini tartlet tins

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).
  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line each pastry case with a piece of foil and fill with baking beans or uncooked rice. Bake for 10 mins, then lift out the foil and beans and bake for another 5 mins. Meanwhile, fry the bacon in a little oil until crisp.
  • 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.

MINI QUICHES



Mini Quiches image

Provided by Duff Goldman

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h45m

Yield 24 mini quiches

Number Of Ingredients 13

Nonstick cooking spray
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
Kosher salt
2 sticks (1 cup) cold unsalted butter, cubed
Up to 1/2 cup ice water
4 ounces thick-cut bacon, diced
3 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
1 cup crème fraîche
Ground white pepper
1/2 cup grated fontina cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish
1/2 cup cream cheese, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place twenty-four 2 1/2-inch mini tart pans on a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a food processor, combine the flour and a good pinch of salt and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles sand. Transfer to a medium bowl then slowly drizzle in enough of the ice water, folding with a wooden spoon, until the water is incorporated and a shaggy dough forms-all the water may not be needed; be careful not to overwork the dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and form into a disc. Roll the dough to 1/4 inch thick and use a 3-inch round cutter to cut out 24 discs. Lay 1 disc in each prepared tart pan, pressing the dough firmly into the bottom and up the sides. Transfer to the freezer to firm up, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the bacon. Cook, stirring frequently, until browned and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined tray to cool for 5 minutes.
  • In another medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, 1/2 cup of the crème fraîche and a pinch each of salt and white pepper. Transfer to a liquid measuring cup for easy pouring.
  • To assemble: Put a teaspoon of the bacon bits and a teaspoon of the fontina in the bottom of each tart shell. Top with a sprinkle of chives. You will have some bacon leftover to use as garnish. Pour the custard evenly into the tart shells and bake until the quiches are puffed and the crust is golden brown, about 35 minutes. Rotate the pan 180 degrees halfway through baking. Remove from the oven and immediately remove the quiches from the tart pans to cool on a wire rack. This will ensure a crisp crust.
  • Meanwhile, in a third medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, the remaining 1/2 cup crème fraîche and a pinch each of salt and white pepper. Whip with a hand mixer until light and airy, about 2 minutes. Dollop onto the cooled quiches and sprinkle with the remaining bacon bits and chives.
