Mini Bacon Egg Cheese Quiches Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚. Roll out 1 sheet of pie dough on a lightly floured surface until very thin and about 14 inches in diameter. Cut out 12 rounds with a 2 3/4- to 3-inch cookie cutter. Repeat with the remaining sheet of pie dough. Press the rounds firmly into each cup of a 24-cup mini-muffin pan (preferably nonstick). Lightly prick the bottoms and sides with a fork.
• Bake the crusts until lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a small skillet over medium heat, turning, until crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain, then finely chop. Whisk the eggs, heavy cream and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a bowl until well combined.
• Sprinkle the bacon in the bottom of each crust. Fill with the egg mixture and top with chives. Bake until just set, about 15 minutes (it's OK if some egg leaks through the pastry). Let cool 10 minutes, then remove from the pan.

Steps:

• Combine the butter and cream cheese.
• Cream until smoothy.
• Add in flour,mix well.
• Form the dough into 30 1 inch balls.
• Put the balls in lightly greased muffin tins.
• Press dough in cups,to form a shell.
• With a fork,pierce bottoms,sides of shells.
• Bake shells at 400 degrees for 5 minutes.
• Let cool.
• Combine the first 8 ingredients.
• Stir mixture well.
• Pour into the ready made shells.
• Bake at 350,for 20 minutes.

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180C
• Lightly oil 16 holes of muffin/cupcake baking tray - you can use a pastry brush or just wipe it around lightly with a piece of kitchen roll if you don't have one
• Put a small amount of oil in a frying pan and cook the chopped bacon and onion until lightly browned
• Cut out circles of the puff pastry - they need to be just big enough to come up to the top of the baking tray holes A cookie cutter is ideal but you can also use cupcake/muffin cases as a guide
• Place the pastry circles in each of the muffin/cupcake tray holes to form cup shapes
• Spoon the bacon and onion mixture into the pastry cups
• Place a pinch of grated cheese on top of each of the pastry cups
• Whisk the milk and eggs together in a jug
• Pour the egg and milk mixture into each of the pastry cups
• Bake for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned on top

Steps:

• In a skillet over medium heat cook the onions in bacon grease OR olive oil until tender.
• Add spinach and seasonings and stir. Turn heat up to medium high to cook off spinach moisture. This will take only a couple of minutes; you want spinach just wilted and still bright green.
• Remove from heat and stir in bacon. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes.
• Combine cheeses in a large bowl.
• Add eggs and stir until well blended.
• Add cooled spinach mixture. Stir to combine.
• Divide mixture evenly among 10 lightly greased muffin cups. Fill other two empty cups 1/2 full of water (to allow for even cooking).
• Bake at 350 for 40 minutes until filling is set.
• Let stand for 10 minutes, then run a thin knife around edges to release.
• Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray 36 mini muffin cups with cooking spray.
• Whisk eggs and cream together in a bowl. Mix in dill, mustard powder, salt, and pepper. Gently mix in Swiss cheese, ham, onion, and diced peppers. Scoop 1 tablespoon batter into each prepared muffin cup.
• Bake in the preheated oven until set in the middle and lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before serving.

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:

• In a small bowl, combine the first nine ingredients. Place tart shells on an ungreased baking sheet; fill each with 2 teaspoons mixture., Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until filling is set and shells are lightly browned. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place bacon slices in a single layer on a bacon rack or foil-lined, rimmed baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap.
• Bake in the preheated oven until browned and crisp, 10 to 11 minutes. Remove from the pan and drain bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate.
• Increase the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with some of the rendered bacon fat.
• Saute onion and garlic in a little bacon fat over medium heat until translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Beat milk, eggs, and cream in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add spinach, Cheddar cheese, and the cooked onion mixture. Season with salt and pepper and mix with a spatula to combine.
• Make a ring of bacon by running a slice around the sides of each muffin cup. Scoop egg mixture into the center of each bacon ring.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375°F.
• Cut the bacon into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
• Drop the sliced bacon into a hot skillet over medium heat. Fry, stirring frequently, until crisp. Drain the bacon bits on a paper towel.
• Use a 2-1/4-inch round cookie cutter to cut the pie crusts into 24 rounds for the quiche crusts. (If you don't have a cutter that size, find a lid or glass that diameter to use.)
• Gently push each pastry round into a mini muffin pan cup to fit the cavity and form a shell.
• Beat the eggs and cream together until well blended. Then, stir in the bacon, cheese and scallions. Season with the salt and pepper.
• Spoon about a tablespoon of the egg mixture into each pastry-lined cup.
• Bake for 12 to 13 min. (Crusts will just start to brown slightly and the egg mixture will puff up, then flatten back out.)
• Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Sprinkle each pastry crust with 1 teaspoon flour; place floured side down on a lightly floured surface. Cut 12 circles from each crust, using a 2-1/2 in. round biscuit cutter. Press dough onto the bottom and up the sides of miniature muffin cups coated with cooking spray; set aside., In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of mixture into each prepared crust. Bake at 400° for 14-18 minutes or until filling is set. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm.
