MINI QUICHE
Recipe video above. Each filling below makes 24 mini quiches, so USE ONE FILLING. If you want to make more than 1, scale the filling recipe DOWN (use the slider below). A quick blind bake will ensure the pastry doesn't go soggy and it cooks through in the short time it takes for the filling to bake!

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.

A great easy cook ahead dish. I like to make these for my boys to eat for breakfast on the go. Good reheated in the microwave. They freeze wonderfully. I often make these with bratwurst sausage and a teaspoon of leftover Knorr® vegetable-spinach dip. Add mushrooms or olives if you like. You can get creative with ingredients.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place twenty-four 2 1/2-inch mini tart pans on a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a food processor, combine the flour and a good pinch of salt and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles sand. Transfer to a medium bowl then slowly drizzle in enough of the ice water, folding with a wooden spoon, until the water is incorporated and a shaggy dough forms-all the water may not be needed; be careful not to overwork the dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and form into a disc. Roll the dough to 1/4 inch thick and use a 3-inch round cutter to cut out 24 discs. Lay 1 disc in each prepared tart pan, pressing the dough firmly into the bottom and up the sides. Transfer to the freezer to firm up, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the bacon. Cook, stirring frequently, until browned and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined tray to cool for 5 minutes.
- In another medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, 1/2 cup of the crème fraîche and a pinch each of salt and white pepper. Transfer to a liquid measuring cup for easy pouring.
- To assemble: Put a teaspoon of the bacon bits and a teaspoon of the fontina in the bottom of each tart shell. Top with a sprinkle of chives. You will have some bacon leftover to use as garnish. Pour the custard evenly into the tart shells and bake until the quiches are puffed and the crust is golden brown, about 35 minutes. Rotate the pan 180 degrees halfway through baking. Remove from the oven and immediately remove the quiches from the tart pans to cool on a wire rack. This will ensure a crisp crust.
- Meanwhile, in a third medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, the remaining 1/2 cup crème fraîche and a pinch each of salt and white pepper. Whip with a hand mixer until light and airy, about 2 minutes. Dollop onto the cooled quiches and sprinkle with the remaining bacon bits and chives.

MINI QUICHE 4 WAYS
Many nights, I have about a half serving of vegetables left over. What do you do with a couple of tablespoons of cooked broccoli or spinach no one had room for at dinner? What about that odd slice of ham, or the extra slice of prosciutto that you didn't need for a recipe? Here's a way to use up lots of little "extras" and jazz up your weekend brunch.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 12x18-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place tart shells on the prepared baking sheet and prick the sides and bottoms with a fork.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. The partial cook will help keep the pastry crispy on the bottom. Allow shells to cool slightly, in the pan, about 10 minutes.
- To make the mini-quiches: when shells are cooled but still warm, place 1 tablespoon Cheddar cheese in the bottom of 8 of the partially-baked tart shells. To 4 of the Cheddar-filled shells, add 1/2 piece of bacon, crumbled, and 1 tablespoon bell pepper. To the remaining 4 Cheddar-filled shells, add 1 tablespoon diced ham, 1 tablespoon broccoli, and 1/8 teaspoon thyme.
- Place 1 tablespoon Gruyere on the bottom of remaining partially-baked tart shells. To each of 4 of the Gruyere-filled shells, add 1 tablespoon cooked onion, 1 tablespoon of cooked, minced mushrooms, and 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder. To each of the remaining Gruyere-filled shells, add 1/4 of the diced prosciutto, 1 tablespoon cooked spinach, 1/8 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend, and a pinch of nutmeg, if using, to taste.
- Briskly stir eggs together with cream, salt, and pepper in a medium mixing bowl. Pour 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of the egg mixture into each of the 16 filled shells.
- Top the bacon/bell pepper mini quiches with a cherry tomato half. Top the ham/broccoli mini quiches with 1 teaspoon diced red onion. Top the onion/mushroom mini quiches with 1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley, and top the prosciutto/spinach mini quiches with 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh basil.
- Place mini quiches in the oven, and reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake until the egg mixture is set and the crust is lightly browned, 30 to 35 minutes. Allow to cool on a rack, about 10 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:
- Light the oven to Gas Mark 5/190ÃÂðC.
- 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 doesnÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂt matter if there are creases on the inside - it wonÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂt 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:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Use farm-fresh eggs, real butter, sharp cheddar cheese, and fresh herbs.
- Don't overfill the quiche cups. The quiche will rise as it bakes, so leave some room at the top of the cups.
- Bake the quiche until the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will take about 20-25 minutes.
- Let the quiche cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.
- Serve the quiche warm or at room temperature. It can be served as an appetizer, main course, or brunch dish.
Conclusion:
These mini quiches are a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that are perfect for any occasion. They can be made ahead of time and reheated, making them a great option for busy weeknights. With a variety of fillings to choose from, there is sure to be a quiche that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give these mini quiches a try!
