QUICHE PASTRY CUPS

My grandmother used to make egg cup surprises for family brunches on special occasions. The added fillings were always a surprise; she never seemed to use the same combination of ingredients twice. As children, we had a guessing game as to what we'd find in the tender crust, which added an aspect of family fun to our meal. -Denalee Standart, Rancho Mureta, California

PUFF PASTRY QUICHE LORRAINE



Puff Pastry Quiche Lorraine image

Please use only Swiss cheese for this recipe, I have made the mistake of using another kind of cheese and it just doesn't work! Purchase a 14-ounce (397 gram) package of puff pastry, and use half for this recipe. The original recipe for this does not call for garlic, but I like to add it in... of course, it is optional.

  • If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of ice water at a time until it comes together.
  • If the dough is too wet, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until it is no longer sticky.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
  • When rolling out the dough, use a light touch and avoid overworking it.
  • To prevent the quiche cups from shrinking, prick the bottom of each cup with a fork before baking.

  • Let the quiche cups cool slightly before filling them.
