Mini Broccoli Quiches With Prosciutto Crusts Recipes

MINI BROCCOLI QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut pie crust into 3 1/2 inch circles. Use a knife or a cookie cutter. I got 8 out of my two pie crusts. Gently push the crust into the muffin tin. If the dough is hard to work with, put it back in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes. I also used some of the extra dough to patch spots that broke. Place a muffin liner on top of each so that it fits. Fill with beans. Bake for 10 minutes.
• Add the eggs, half-and-half, nutmeg, salt and pepper in a blender. Blend until smooth and frothy.
• Add broccoli to the cups. Pour the egg mixture over. Top with cheese.
• Bake until puffy and set, about 10 to 15 minutes.

MINI QUICHE RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Spray a 24-cavity mini muffin tin with cooking spray. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 F.
• Place one of the unbaked pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Roll the pie crust to a thickness of about 1/8-inch. Cut out rounds with a 2 1/2-inch cookie cutter. Press each pastry round into a cavity in the mini muffin pan. Repeat with the remaining pie crust-re-roll scraps as needed for the last few rounds. Set aside.
• Put the bacon, if using, in a medium skillet over medium-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally until almost crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the shallot and continue cooking until the bacon is crisp and the shallot is translucent, about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with the half-and-half, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
• Add the bacon-shallot mixture to the egg mixture and whisk to blend.
• Add about 1 scant teaspoon of shredded Gruyère cheese to each mini muffin cavity.
• Add about 1 tablespoon of the egg mixture to each cavity. Top each with sliced chives, if using.
• Bake until the eggs puff up and the crust is golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool slightly, remove from the muffin tins and serve.

MINI BROCCOLI QUICHES WITH PROSCIUTTO CRUSTS

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the broccoli in the boiling water according to the package instructions. Drain, then cut into small florets.
• Slice the prosciutto in half lengthwise to make long strips. Line each cup of a 12-cup muffin pan with 2 strips of prosciutto arranged in an X pattern. Fold the overhang back into each cup and lightly press to cover any gaps or holes. Hold in the refrigerator.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the crushed red pepper and garlic, then season with salt and pepper. Cook until the garlic is softened, another 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, cream and eggs and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix in the cooled onion and garlic mixture and the Parmesan. Divide the broccoli among the prosciutto-lined muffin cups. Pour some of the egg mixture into each cup, filling each about three-quarters full.
• Bake until the quiches are set, 15 to 17 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the muffin cups. Serve warm.
