MINI QUICHES (CRUSTLESS)
A great easy cook ahead dish. I like to make these for my boys to eat for breakfast on the go. Good reheated in the microwave. They freeze wonderfully. I often make these with bratwurst sausage and a teaspoon of leftover Knorr® vegetable-spinach dip. Add mushrooms or olives if you like. You can get creative with ingredients.

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.

Tips:
- Prepare the Crust in Advance: You can make the pie crust dough up to 3 days in advance and keep it refrigerated. This saves time when you're ready to assemble the quiche.
- Use a Variety of Fillings: Get creative with your fillings! You can use any combination of vegetables, meats, and cheeses that you like. Some popular options include bacon, ham, sausage, spinach, mushrooms, and bell peppers.
- Make Mini Quiches for Easy Serving: Mini quiches are perfect for parties or potlucks because they're easy to serve and can be eaten with your hands. You can also make them in advance and freeze them for later.
- Experiment with Different Herbs and Spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices to flavor your quiche. Some popular options include garlic, onion, thyme, rosemary, and paprika.
- Don't Overcook the Quiche: The quiche is done when the center is just set and the top is golden brown. Overcooking will make the quiche dry and rubbery.
