Quiche In Prosciutto Cups Recipes

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.

QUICHE IN PROSCIUTTO CUPS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Coat a mini muffin pan with cooking spray. Press 1 piece prosciutto into each of 8 cups. Whisk egg whites and whole egg until smooth. Whisk in yogurt, olives, rosemary, salt and pepper. Divide mixture among cups. Bake, uncovered, until quiches are cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Garnish with rosemary.

GOAT CHEESE QUICHE WITH PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• For the quiche pastry:
• In a large bowl, put the flour, salt, and butter cubes. Using the tips of your fingers, mix the ingredients until it resembles coarse cornmeal. Add the ice water a little at a time until the dough just comes together. Remove the dough from the bowl and form into a disk. Cover the disk with plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator to chill for 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Lightly flour the work surface, roll-out the dough and put in a pan with a removable bottom. Allow the dough to hang over the edges. Trim the edges slightly, still leaving an overhang of dough. Poke or dock the bottom of the pastry with a fork.
• Put the crust on a baking tray and cover the bottom of the pastry dough with aluminum foil. Fill the crust with dried beans or pastry weights and bake for approximately 15 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil and beans, and then put the pastry back in the oven until the bottom is golden brown, approximately 10 minutes.
• Remove the pastry crust from the oven. While the pastry is still hot, brush a thin layer of quiche egg mixture over the bottom to seal.
• For the quiche filling:
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Put the shallots in a small saute pan skin-side up and coat with olive oil. Season the shallots with salt and roast for 30 minutes, until tender. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Peel the skins from the shallots and set the shallots aside. Put the milk in a pot over low heat until scalded, set aside.
• In a bowl, whisk the eggs, thyme, salt, and pepper until incorporated. Slowly whisk the warm milk into the egg mixture.
• Scatter the roasted shallots and goat cheese into the base of the pastry crust.
• Pour the egg mixture into the prepared quiche pastry crust. Bake in the oven for approximately 20 to 30 minutes, until the custard has set. Remove the quiche from the oven and allow to cool. Slice the quiche into portions and put the arugula and prosciutto over the quiche.
