MINI SPINACH QUICHE



Mini Spinach Quiche image

Yummy little morsels, if I do have to say so myself...lol! My photos

Provided by Cassie *

Categories     Vegetable Appetizers

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 refrigerated pie dough, or homemade
2 Tbsp butter
3 Tbsp scallions, sliced
1/3 c diced mushrooms
1 clove garlic, minced
9 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
3 eggs
1 1/2 c half and half
1/4 c shredded gruyere cheese
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp fresh cracked pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and grease a mini muffin tin. Roll out one crust of the refrigerated pie dough on a lightly floured surface until thin but still manageable. Use a 2 1/2-inch biscuit or cookie cutter to cut out rounds of dough, then gently press the dough into each of the muffin cups. Take care not to tear the dough. Once all the cups are filled, set aside.
  • 2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the scallions and mushrooms and cook until just barely golden, add garlic the last minute of cooking. Remove from heat. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, cheese, and seasoning. Add the mushroom mixture, then the well-drained spinach. Whisk gently to combine. Gently spoon the mixture into each of the cups. Do not overflow.
  • 3. Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Transfer each quiche to a wire rack to cool. If they are sticking, gently run the tip of a knife around the edge. Serve hot or at room temperature. I made 12 mini's and then used the rest of the filling for a small quiche in my smallest pie plate...

Tips:

  • Prep the Crust: Use a pre-made pie crust or create your own with a mix of flour, butter, and water. For a gluten-free option, use almond flour or chickpea flour.
  • Wilt the Spinach: Before adding spinach to the quiche, wilt it by sautéing it in a pan with a little oil or butter. This removes excess moisture and intensifies the flavor.
  • Season Well: Don't be afraid to season the quiche filling generously with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. This will enhance the overall flavor.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture. Fresh spinach, eggs, and cheese will make a big difference.
  • Bake at the Right Temperature: The quiche should be baked at a high temperature initially (400°F) to set the crust, then reduced to a lower temperature (350°F) to finish cooking the filling. This prevents the crust from overcooking while ensuring the center is cooked through.
  • Let It Cool: Once the quiche is baked, let it cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set and makes it easier to slice cleanly.

Conclusion:

Spinach mini quiches are a versatile and delicious dish perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a flaky crust, creamy filling, and pop of fresh spinach, they are sure to be a hit with everyone. Whether you follow the recipe precisely or make substitutions based on your preferences, these mini quiches are a great way to enjoy the goodness of spinach in a savory and satisfying meal.
