Time 55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

24 (3 inch) frozen tart shells, thawed
6 slices bacon, or more to taste
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
2 green onions, diced
4 eggs
1 ¼ cups milk
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ cup shredded Swiss cheese, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Arrange tart shells in 2 muffin tins; line shell each with a layer of pie weights or dried beans.
  • Bake shells in the preheated oven until edges of crusts are lightly browned and about 75% cooked, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels; crumble when cooled.
  • Divide 1 cup Swiss cheese, bacon, and green onions evenly into the tart shells.
  • Whisk eggs, milk, mustard, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Ladle egg mixture into each tart shell about 2/3 full. Top each tart with the remaining 1/4 cup Swiss cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until egg is set in the middle of each tart and shells are browned, 25 to 30 minutes.

CRUSTLESS MINI QUICHE LORRAINE



Crustless Mini Quiche Lorraine image

My favorite comfort food on a low-carb diet is this quick and easy crustless quiche. I make them with and without spinach, and sometimes double the amount of bacon, as the mood strikes me. This is a crustless, low-carb version of quiche Lorraine that I developed when my family switched over to a LCHF diet. Not intended for low-fat diets!

Time 50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

nonstick cooking spray
1 (6 ounce) bag fresh spinach, finely chopped
1 (14 ounce) package cooked bacon, chopped
3 tablespoons dried chives
6 ounces Swiss cheese, shredded
8 large eggs
1 cup heavy cream
4 teaspoons salt-free seasoning blend
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly spray a 12-cup standard muffin tin with nonstick spray.
  • Spray a skillet with nonstick spray. Saute spinach over medium-low heat just until wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Divide bacon among the muffin cups. Squeeze moisture out of the spinach and place on top of bacon. Sprinkle with chives, then top with equal portions of Swiss cheese.
  • Blend eggs, cream, seasoning blend, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Pour mixture slowly into each cup, stopping just before it reaches the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving; it's normal for puffy quiche to settle and flatten.

Pack these mini quiches with bacon and cheese for a picnic. Great for feeding a hungry crowd, plus you can make them a day ahead and even freeze them

Provided by Lulu Grimes

Categories     Afternoon tea, Buffet, Lunch, Snack

Time 1h20m

Yield Makes 18-20

Number Of Ingredients 8

300g shortcrust pastry
plain flour , for dusting
4 rashers back bacon , fat trimmed, chopped
oil , for frying
100g gruyère cheese , grated
2 medium eggs
125ml double cream
18-20 mini tartlet tins

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:

  • Light the oven to Gas Mark 5/190°C.
  • Put the flour and margarine into the mixing bowl and rub together to form small crumbs.
  • Add the water and mix together using the pallet knife.
  • Flour a worktop surface and roll out the pastry to a thin layer. Using the pallet knife or a shape cutter, cut out reasonable sized circles to fit the moulds and place into the moulds and up the sides. Push down to flatten (it doesn’t matter if there are creases on the inside - it won’t be seen!).
  • In the jug of milk, crack the eggs and beat gently. Add the cheese and mix using a fork or whisk.
  • Fry the bacon, onion, tomatoes and mushrooms and when cooked, put evenly into the quiches.
  • Pour the egg, milk and cheese evenly into the pastry moulds. DO NOT OVER FILL!
  • Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect quiche crust, use a combination of all-purpose flour and butter. The butter will help create a flaky crust, while the flour will provide structure.
  • When rolling out the dough, be sure to keep it cold. This will help prevent it from becoming sticky and tearing.
  • If you don't have time to make your own quiche crust, you can use a pre-made one. Just be sure to thaw it completely before using it.
  • When filling the quiche, be sure to use fresh ingredients. This will give your quiche the best flavor.
  • Don't overfill the quiche. The filling should come up to the top of the crust, but it shouldn't be overflowing.
  • Bake the quiche until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. This will usually take about 30-35 minutes.
  • Let the quiche cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Quiche is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover ingredients. With so many different recipes to choose from, there's sure to be a quiche that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give quiche a try. You won't be disappointed!
