Categories     appetizer

Time 1h

Yield 24 mini bacon quiches

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 14-ounce package refrigerated pie dough (2 sheets)
All-purpose flour, for dusting
4 slices bacon
4 large eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Chopped fresh chives, for topping

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.

Pack these mini quiches with bacon and cheese for a picnic. Great for feeding a hungry crowd, plus you can make them a day ahead and even freeze them

Provided by Lulu Grimes

Categories     Afternoon tea, Buffet, Lunch, Snack

Time 1h20m

Yield Makes 18-20

Number Of Ingredients 8

300g shortcrust pastry
plain flour , for dusting
4 rashers back bacon , fat trimmed, chopped
oil , for frying
100g gruyère cheese , grated
2 medium eggs
125ml double cream
18-20 mini tartlet tins

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.

MINI SPINACH, BACON, CHEESE QUICHES



Mini Spinach, Bacon, Cheese Quiches image

A delicious, crust-free mini quiche perfect to use when you have a little leftover bacon and fresh spinach. Choose good quality cheeses freshly grated (I used Beecher's Marco Polo in place of mozzarella and Parmesano-Reggiano) and these will be even better. Prep time is if you are using leftover bacon.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 55m

Yield 10 mini-quiches, 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 slices bacon, crisply cooked and crumbled
1 tablespoon bacon grease or 1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup onion, diced
5 ounces fresh spinach, chopped
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
15 ounces ricotta cheese
8 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
3 eggs

Steps:

  • In a skillet over medium heat cook the onions in bacon grease OR olive oil until tender.
  • Add spinach and seasonings and stir. Turn heat up to medium high to cook off spinach moisture. This will take only a couple of minutes; you want spinach just wilted and still bright green.
  • Remove from heat and stir in bacon. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes.
  • Combine cheeses in a large bowl.
  • Add eggs and stir until well blended.
  • Add cooled spinach mixture. Stir to combine.
  • Divide mixture evenly among 10 lightly greased muffin cups. Fill other two empty cups 1/2 full of water (to allow for even cooking).
  • Bake at 350 for 40 minutes until filling is set.
  • Let stand for 10 minutes, then run a thin knife around edges to release.
  • Serve warm.

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 slices bacon
½ medium onion, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup 2% milk
5 large eggs
