Mini Bacon Egg Cheese 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 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.

MINI QUICHES

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.
