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.

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.

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.

Mini Smoked Cheddar (And Bacon?) Quiches image

This is a simple and delicious way to use up extra eggs. The caramelized green onions go incredibly well with the smoked cheddar.The mini quiches are adorable and reheat well the next day. My boyfriend loves bacon (and I'm a vegetarian) so I made half the quiches with bacon and half without!

Categories     Breakfast

Time 45m

Yield 12 mini quiches

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup chopped green onion
4 slices bacon
8 eggs
1 cup 2% milk
1 1/4 cups shredded smoked cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon butter
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Cook bacon in one pan and saute green onions with butter, salt, and pepper in another pan. Once cooled, crumble bacon in a bowl. The green onions should be slightly caramelized and set aside to cool.
  • Combine caramelized green onions, cheese, and salt and pepper to taste. Put half of mixture in separate bowl and combine with bacon.
  • Whisk together eggs, milk, and a little bit of salt and pepper.
  • Divide egg mixture into cups of a greased 12 cup muffin pan.
  • Top half egg muffins with a spoonful of the vegetarian mixture and half with a spoonful of the bacon mixture.
  • Bake for 30 minutes and let cool for 2 minutes before eating.

Tips:

  • Use a muffin tin: Mini quiche is traditionally made in a muffin tin. This allows for even cooking and easy portioning.
  • Make your own pie crust: While you can use store-bought pie crust, making your own is easy and will give you a flakier, more flavorful crust.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the flavor of your quiche. Use fresh eggs, good-quality cheese, and flavorful bacon.
  • Don't overcook the quiche: Quiche is best when it is slightly undercooked. The center should be just set, but still slightly wobbly.
  • Let the quiche cool before serving: This will allow the quiche to set properly and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Mini quiche is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast, brunch, or lunch option. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect mini quiche every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give mini quiche a try. You won't be disappointed!
