Mexican Quiches - Mini-Sized image

Great to have in the freezer for unexpected guests - as an appetizer or brunch. I often make these and freeze (well-covered) in air-tight container. When it's party time, place frozen quiches on serving plate; place in microwave and cook on Reheat setting just until slightly warm. You can take a few or lots from the freezer to accommodate the number of guests. There are never any leftovers. Preparation time includes 1 hour refrigeration.

Yield 24 mini quiches, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, softened

  • Add 1/2 teaspoon of green chiles on top cheese.
  • In a small bowl, mix together eggs, milk, salt and pepper; spoon egg mixture evenly over chiles in each section.
  • If you like them hot, sprinkle a few crushed red peppers on top of each section, or lightly dust with cayenne pepper.
  • Bake for about 30-35 minutes until just slightly golden on top.
  • Let stand 5 minutes before removing from pans.
  • Serve warm, but also good at room temperature.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my quiches didn't rise. They were still tasty, but they were a bit flat.

I love the flavor of these quiches, but they're a bit too rich for me. I think I'll try making them with a lighter cheese next time.

I'm not a fan of the crust on these quiches. It's too dry and crumbly.

These quiches are so easy to make and they're always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can make them ahead of time and just pop them in the oven when I'm ready to serve.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my quiches didn't turn out at all. The crust was soggy and the filling was bland.

I followed the recipe exactly and the quiches turned out great. The only thing I would change is to add a bit more cheese to the filling.

These mini quiches were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I'll definitely be making them again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.
