Mini Quiche Lorraine Recipes

MINI QUICHE (ANY FLAVOR!)

Steps:

• I like to make sure my pie dough is prepared before I begin mini quiche. Make pie dough the night before because it needs to chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before using.
• In a large bowl with a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment- or simply using a whisk and mixing bowl- beat/whisk the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, salt, and pepper together (on high speed if using a mixer) until completely combined, about 1 minute. Cover and refrigerate egg filling until step 6.
• Preheat oven to 375°F (191°C). Grease two 24-count mini muffin pans. (Nonstick spray is best.) If you only have 1 mini muffin pan, bake these in batches. Roll out first pie dough, fill, and bake then roll out the 2nd pie dough, fill, and bake.
• Working with 1 chilled pie dough at a time, place the dough onto a floured work surface. Roll into a large 12-inch circle. Use your warm hands to mold any cracking edges back together as you see me doing in the video tutorial above. From the circle, cut rounds using a 2.5 inch cookie cutter. (Sometimes I use my 1/3 cup measuring cup, which is 2.5 inches in diameter.) You'll have to re-roll the dough scraps a few times. Work quickly, as the dough becomes much more delicate the longer it's at room temperature. You'll get about 24 rounds per pie crust. Repeat with 2nd chilled pie dough for a total of about 48.
• Place the dough rounds into greased 24-count mini muffin pan(s). Press the dough flat into the bottom of the crevice and up the sides.
• Evenly pour cold egg filling into each unbaked crust. Top evenly with add-ins, then sprinkle each with cheese.
• Bake mini quiches until the center is just about set and edges are lightly browned, about 25-28 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pan. If greased well, the mini quiches pop right out using a spoon to scoop them up. Serve warm or at room temperature
• Mini quiches make great leftovers! Cover tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

MINI QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan). Spray 2 standard muffin tins with oil.
• Cut 24 rounds out of pastry using a 7.5 - 8cm / 3- 3.25" cutter. (Note 3)
• Press into muffin tin, making sure there's no air underneath the pastry.
• Prick the base 4 times with a fork, then bake for 5 minutes JUST until a skin partially forms on surface of pastry. CHECK at 4 minutes - if pastry is bubbling, press back down.
• Remove from oven and let cool - pastry should be partially cooked on surface only.
• Melt butter over medium high. Cook bacon for 2 minutes, then add eschallots and cook until bacon is light golden. Transfer to bowl.
• Place pinch of cheese in quiche crust, top with 1 teaspoon bacon mixture then 1 tbsp egg mixture - fill to top.
• Melt butter over medium high. Add garlic, sauté 20 seconds. Add spinach and cook for 1 minute until just wilted, then transfer to bowl.
• Place pinch of cheese in quiche crust, top with 1 teaspoon of spinach then 1 tbsp egg mixture - fill to top.
• Melt butter over medium high. Add garlic, sauté 20 seconds. Add chopped mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes until mushroom is starting to go golden on edges, then transfer to bowl.
• Place pinch of cheese in quiche crust, top with 1 teaspoon cooked mushrooms then 1 tbsp egg mixture - fill to top. Top with 1 or 2 slices mushrooms.
• Antipasto Mix: Toss the olives, sun dried tomatoes and feta together.
• Place pinch of cheese in quiche crust, top with 1 heaped teaspoon Antipasto Mix, then 1 tbsp egg mixture - fill to top.
• Bake 20 minutes at 180C/350F until surface is light golden. They will puff, then sink.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat a miniature muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside.
• 2. Mix pie crust according to package directions. Roll out the dough and cut with a round biscuit/cookie cutter into rounds to fit the muffin tin. Prick the bottoms with a fork and bake for 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and set aside.
• 3. Cook bacon until crispy, but be careful not to burn. Drain and finely crumble. Cook the onion in the bacon fat until transparent and soft. Drain and mix with the crumbled bacon.
• 4. Divide the onion/bacon mixture equally into the muffin cups. Sprinkle shredded cheese equally over the bacon/onion in the muffin cups. Mix the remaining ingredients together in a small bowl and spoon into the cup mixtures (I use a ladel).
• 5. Bake in 400 degree oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 and bake for another 5 to 7 minutes or until lightly browned. You may serve hot or at room temperature.

• Bake shells in the preheated oven until edges of crusts are lightly browned and about 75% cooked, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels; crumble when cooled.
• Divide 1 cup Swiss cheese, bacon, and green onions evenly into the tart shells.
• Whisk eggs, milk, mustard, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Ladle egg mixture into each tart shell about 2/3 full. Top each tart with the remaining 1/4 cup Swiss cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until egg is set in the middle of each tart and shells are browned, 25 to 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Light the oven to Gas Mark 5/190°C.
• Put the flour and margarine into the mixing bowl and rub together to form small crumbs.
• Add the water and mix together using the pallet knife.
• Flour a worktop surface and roll out the pastry to a thin layer. Using the pallet knife or a shape cutter, cut out reasonable sized circles to fit the moulds and place into the moulds and up the sides. Push down to flatten (it doesn’t matter if there are creases on the inside - it won’t be seen!).
• In the jug of milk, crack the eggs and beat gently. Add the cheese and mix using a fork or whisk.
• Fry the bacon, onion, tomatoes and mushrooms and when cooked, put evenly into the quiches.
• Pour the egg, milk and cheese evenly into the pastry moulds. DO NOT OVER FILL!
• Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown.
