MINI BACON CHEESE QUICHE WITH PUFF PASTRY
Steps:
- Heat a little oil in a medium frying pan and cook bacon until brown. When cooked, place the bacon on absorbent paper and cool. Dice the bacon into tiny pieces and put them aside for later.
- Finely slice the spring onion and grate the cheese. Put these aside.
- Next, prepare the wet filling. In a medium bowl (or jug) mix the heavy cream, milk, and eggs until well combined, season with salt and pepper.
- Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Lightly grease the insides of the mini muffin tin.
- If your puff pastry comes unrolled, you will need to roll it out thin before cutting into rounds. Use a round cookie cutter to cut circles of dough to line the insides of the mini muffin tins.
- Place the rounds in the cups of the prepared muffin tin. Carefully push the pastry to the bottom of the cups and gently press the pleated pastry to the sides. The pastry should be level with the top of the muffin tin. Note: You don't need to blind bake the pastry before adding the filling.
- Divide the onions, bacon, and cheese evenly between the pasty-lined muffin cups.
- Carefully pour the creamy egg filling into each of the muffin cups. The liquid should be level with the top of the muffin tin.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow to stand in the tins for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.

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.

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.

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.
MINI SPINACH, BACON, CHEESE QUICHES
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.

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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Place bacon slices in a single layer on a bacon rack or foil-lined, rimmed baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap.
- Bake in the preheated oven until browned and crisp, 10 to 11 minutes. Remove from the pan and drain bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Increase the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with some of the rendered bacon fat.
- Saute onion and garlic in a little bacon fat over medium heat until translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Beat milk, eggs, and cream in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add spinach, Cheddar cheese, and the cooked onion mixture. Season with salt and pepper and mix with a spatula to combine.
- Make a ring of bacon by running a slice around the sides of each muffin cup. Scoop egg mixture into the center of each bacon ring.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 15 minutes.

Tips:
- For a crispier crust, pre-bake the quiche crust for 5-10 minutes before adding the filling.
- Use a variety of cheeses to add flavor and texture to the quiche. Cheddar, Parmesan, Gruyère, and Swiss are all good choices.
- Add your favorite mix-ins to the quiche, such as cooked bacon, diced ham, chopped vegetables, or herbs.
- Don't overfill the quiche crust. Leave about 1/2 inch of space at the top so that the quiche has room to rise.
- Bake the quiche until it is set in the center and the top is golden brown. This usually takes about 30-35 minutes.
- Let the quiche cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.
