MINI MEXICAN QUICHES



Mini Mexican Quiches image

Provided by Gaby

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 Tbsp Olive Oil
2 lbs Ground Pork
3 Jalapenos (finely chopped)
6 Cloves Garlic (minced)
2 Tbsp Paprika
2 Tsp Red Pepper Flakes
salt and pepper
20 large White Flour Tortillas
2/3 lb Cheddar Cheese
2 Avocados
1 bunch Chives
special equipment - mini cupcake/muffin tin

Steps:

  • In a large skillet heat the oil over medium high heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped jalapeno and saute for 5 minutes until fragrant. Add the ground pork and cook until meat is completely cooked. Add the paprika and red pepper flakes and combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Using a 2.5 inch diameter round cookie cutter, cut the tortillas into small circles. Each large tortilla should yield 4 smaller circles. (Adjust the following depending on the number of mini cupcake tins you have - mine yielded 12 per sheet.) Microwave 12 of the smaller circle for 20 seconds until they are more pliable. Place each small circle over a cupcake hole and push down to form a small cup like form. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 12 minutes until the tortilla holds the cup like shape. Repeat this process for the remaining small tortillas.
  • Once the tortilla cups have been bakes. Add 1 tbsp of the pork mixture into the cup. Top with shredded cheddar and bake on a baking sheet until the cheese is melted.
  • Once cheese has melted remove from the oven, top with 2 cubes of avocado and a chive on top.
  • These are best served warm so make sure to pop these delicious bites into your mouth shortly after baking... but not too soon - I don't want any burned mouths or something terrible like that!

Butter, for greasing the pans
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt

6 ounces chorizo, or spicy Italian sausage, casings removed, and cooked until crisp

MINI QUICHES

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h45m

Yield 24 mini quiches

Number Of Ingredients 13

Nonstick cooking spray
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
Kosher salt
2 sticks (1 cup) cold unsalted butter, cubed
Up to 1/2 cup ice water
4 ounces thick-cut bacon, diced
3 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
1 cup crème fraîche
Ground white pepper
1/2 cup grated fontina cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish
1/2 cup cream cheese, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place twenty-four 2 1/2-inch mini tart pans on a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a food processor, combine the flour and a good pinch of salt and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles sand. Transfer to a medium bowl then slowly drizzle in enough of the ice water, folding with a wooden spoon, until the water is incorporated and a shaggy dough forms-all the water may not be needed; be careful not to overwork the dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and form into a disc. Roll the dough to 1/4 inch thick and use a 3-inch round cutter to cut out 24 discs. Lay 1 disc in each prepared tart pan, pressing the dough firmly into the bottom and up the sides. Transfer to the freezer to firm up, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the bacon. Cook, stirring frequently, until browned and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined tray to cool for 5 minutes.
  • In another medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, 1/2 cup of the crème fraîche and a pinch each of salt and white pepper. Transfer to a liquid measuring cup for easy pouring.
  • To assemble: Put a teaspoon of the bacon bits and a teaspoon of the fontina in the bottom of each tart shell. Top with a sprinkle of chives. You will have some bacon leftover to use as garnish. Pour the custard evenly into the tart shells and bake until the quiches are puffed and the crust is golden brown, about 35 minutes. Rotate the pan 180 degrees halfway through baking. Remove from the oven and immediately remove the quiches from the tart pans to cool on a wire rack. This will ensure a crisp crust.
  • Meanwhile, in a third medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, the remaining 1/2 cup crème fraîche and a pinch each of salt and white pepper. Whip with a hand mixer until light and airy, about 2 minutes. Dollop onto the cooled quiches and sprinkle with the remaining bacon bits and chives.

Tips:

  • Prepare the Crust in Advance: Making the crust ahead of time allows it to chill and rest, resulting in a flakier and more flavorful crust.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Using fresh, high-quality ingredients will elevate the overall flavor of your quiche. Fresh herbs, vegetables, and cheese will make a noticeable difference.
  • Don't Overfill the Quiche: Filling the quiche too much can cause it to overflow and become soggy. Aim for filling the quiche about 3/4 full.
  • Bake until the Center is Set: To ensure that the quiche is cooked through, insert a toothpick or knife into the center. If it comes out clean, the quiche is ready.
  • Let the Quiche Cool Before Slicing: Allow the quiche to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This will help it set and make it easier to slice cleanly.

Conclusion:

Experimenting with different fillings and ingredients will allow you to create a variety of delicious and unique Mexican quiches. These mini-sized quiches are perfect for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or as an appetizer. They are also a great way to use up leftover ingredients or to showcase fresh, seasonal produce.
