Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and grease a mini muffin tin. Roll out one crust of the refrigerated pie dough on a lightly floured surface until thin but still manageable. Use a 2 1/2-inch biscuit or cookie cutter to cut out rounds of dough, then gently press the dough into each of the muffin cups. Take care not to tear the dough. Once all the cups are filled, set aside.
- 2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the scallions and mushrooms and cook until just barely golden, add garlic the last minute of cooking. Remove from heat. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, cheese, and seasoning. Add the mushroom mixture, then the well-drained spinach. Whisk gently to combine. Gently spoon the mixture into each of the cups. Do not overflow.
- 3. Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Transfer each quiche to a wire rack to cool. If they are sticking, gently run the tip of a knife around the edge. Serve hot or at room temperature. I made 12 mini's and then used the rest of the filling for a small quiche in my smallest pie plate...
Tips:
- Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and will make your quiche more delicious. If you only have frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out as much moisture as possible before using it.
- Don't overcook the spinach: Spinach cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked spinach will become mushy and lose its flavor.
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in a quiche, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that you enjoy the taste of. Some good options include cheddar, Gruyère, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
- Don't overfill the quiche crust: The quiche filling will rise as it bakes, so it's important not to overfill the crust. If you do, the quiche may overflow and make a mess.
- Bake the quiche until it is set: The quiche is done baking when it is set in the center. You can check this by inserting a toothpick into the center of the quiche. If the toothpick comes out clean, the quiche is done.
Conclusion:
Mini spinach quiche is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover spinach. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying quiche that the whole family will enjoy.
