How Do You Make Mini Quiche?
This mini quiche recipe starts with store bought pie crust, the kind that comes pre-rolled in a box. Unroll your pie crusts, and cut circles out of the crusts with a round cookie cutter or a jar lid. Press the crust circles into a mini muffin pan. Whisk together eggs with cream and seasonings to make the filling for your quiche. Place your flavorings such as ham and cheese in the bottom of each muffin tin. Pour the egg mixture over the top, then bake until golden brown. Remove the bite size quiche from the muffin tin and serve them warm.
Tips For The Perfect Dish
Make sure to dice your flavorings into tiny pieces to make sure they fit into the mini muffin cups. Pre-cook any vegetables that you’ll be adding to your mini quiche, otherwise they’ll leach water if they cook in the egg mixture and make your quiche watery. Use an offset spatula to remove the mini quiche from the muffin tin. You can go around the outside of a quiche to loosen it from the tin. You can make your own homemade pie crust instead of a store-bought pie crust if you want. Make sure you roll out your dough evenly if you choose to make your own crust. Feel free to garnish the finished quiche with fresh chopped herbs. Store any leftover quiche in the fridge for up to 3 days.
