Mini Quiche Varieties

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Mini Quiche Varieties.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C).

2. Step 2

   While it warms up, grab a 12x18-inch baking sheet and line it with parchment paper to make cleanup a breeze.

3. Step 3

   Next, take your thawed tart shells and arrange them neatly on the prepared baking sheet.

4. Step 4

   To keep them from puffing up during baking, gently prick the bottoms and sides with a fork.

5. Step 5

   Pop those tart shells into the oven for about 8 minutes; this will give them a head start on becoming perfectly crispy.

6. Step 6

   Once they’re partially baked, let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes—this will help them hold their shape when you fill them.

7. Step 7

   Now, let’s get to the fun part: assembling your mini quiches! Start by adding a tablespoon of Cheddar cheese to the bottom of 8 of the tart shells.

8. Step 8

   For a delightful twist, mix things up by adding crumbled bacon and diced bell pepper to 4 of these.

9. Step 9

   For the remaining 4, go for diced ham, chopped broccoli, and a sprinkle of thyme for that extra flavor kick.

10. Step 10

    In the other tart shells, place a tablespoon of Gruyere cheese.

11. Step 11

    For 4 of these, add a savory mix of cooked onions, minced mushrooms, and a dash of garlic powder.

12. Step 12

    In the last 4, layer in diced prosciutto, cooked spinach, Italian seasoning, and if you’re feeling adventurous, a pinch of nutmeg for a warm, aromatic touch.

13. Step 13

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until well combined.

14. Step 14

    Now, pour about 1.

15. Step 15

    5 to 2 tablespoons of this creamy egg mixture into each of the 16 filled tart shells, making sure to cover all those delicious fillings.

16. Step 16

    To add a pop of color and flavor, top the bacon and bell pepper quiches with a cherry tomato half.

17. Step 17

    For the ham and broccoli quiches, sprinkle on some diced red onion.

18. Step 18

    The onion and mushroom quiches will shine with a touch of minced parsley, while the prosciutto and spinach quiches will benefit from a sprinkle of minced basil.

19. Step 19

    Now it’s time to bake! Place your mini quiches back in the oven and lower the temperature to 350°F (175°C).

20. Step 20

    Let them bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the egg mixture is set and the crust is beautifully golden brown.

21. Step 21

    Once they’re done, allow them to cool on a rack for about 10 minutes.

22. Step 22

    This will make them easier to handle and enhance their flavors.

23. Step 23

    Serve them warm and watch as everyone enjoys these delightful bites!.
