MINI MUSHROOM-AND-SAUSAGE QUICHES
Steps:
- Position rack in center of oven; preheat to 325°F. Coat a nonstick muffin tin generously with cooking spray (see Tip). Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool. Add oil to the pan. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer mushrooms to the bowl with the sausage. Let cool for 5 minutes. Stir in scallions, cheese and pepper. Whisk eggs, egg whites and milk in a medium bowl. Divide the egg mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle a heaping tablespoon of the sausage mixture into each cup. Bake until the tops are just beginning to brown, 25 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Place a rack on top of the pan, flip it over and turn the quiches out onto the rack. Turn upright and let cool completely. A good-quality nonstick muffin tin works best for this recipe. If you don't have one, line a regular muffin tin with foil baking cups
Tips:
- Use a muffin tin with nonstick coating or line it with paper liners to prevent the quiches from sticking.
- Grate the cheese finely for even distribution and melting.
- Use fresh mushrooms for the best flavor and texture.
- If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. However, the quiches may be slightly less creamy.
- Season the quiche filling to your taste. You can add more salt, pepper, or other spices, such as garlic powder or onion powder.
- Bake the quiches until they are set in the center. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Let the quiches cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help them to hold their shape.
