Mini Quiche With Romaine Lettuce Salad Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium skillet over medium heat, fry the bacon slices until slightly crisp, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels and set aside to cool.
• Mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Cheddar, buttermilk, parsley, dill, garlic powder, pepper and vinegar in a medium bowl until smooth. Finely chop half of the bacon and throw into the bowl with the dressing. Rough chop the other half of the bacon and reserve for garnish.
• Transfer the halved romaine hearts to plates and spoon a good portion of dressing over the top of each, then sprinkle on the chopped tomatoes and reserved bacon.

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:

• Line a 3-cup serving dish with lettuce. Layer with the onion, green pepper, celery, carrot and peas. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and ranch dressing mix; spread over the top. Sprinkle with cheese and bacon. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 16 mini muffin cups with cooking spray. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly around side and in bottom of cups.
• On cutting board, cut out 2 (2 1/2-inch) rounds from each tortilla. Push 1 round into each muffin cup to form tortilla cup.
• Bake 5 minutes or until browned. Meanwhile, in small bowl, gently mix chicken and dressing.
• Divide lettuce evenly among cups. Top each with chicken mixture. Sprinkle with corn, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese and the tomatoes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Roll each lemon on the countertop with the palm of your hand, using gentle pressure (this will help release the juices). Cut 1 lemon in half; squeeze juice from each half. Use enough lemons until you have 1/4 cup lemon juice. Peel and finely chop the garlic. In a tightly covered jar or container, shake lemon juice, garlic, oil, salt and pepper.
• Remove any limp outer leaves from the romaine and discard. Break remaining leaves off the core; rinse with cool water. Shake off excess water and blot to dry, or roll up the leaves in a clean kitchen towel or paper towel to dry. Tear the leaves into bite-size pieces. You will need about 10 cups of romaine pieces.
• Peel the onion; slice onion and separate into rings.
• In a large glass or plastic bowl, place the romaine, onion, olives and artichoke hearts (with liquid). Shake the vinaigrette again to mix ingredients. Pour vinaigrette over the salad ingredients, and toss with 2 large spoons or salad tongs until evenly coated.
• Sprinkle the croutons and cheese over the salad. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Arrange tart shells in 2 muffin tins; line shell each with a layer of pie weights or dried beans.
• Bake shells in the preheated oven until edges of crusts are lightly browned and about 75% cooked, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels; crumble when cooled.
• Divide 1 cup Swiss cheese, bacon, and green onions evenly into the tart shells.
• Whisk eggs, milk, mustard, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Ladle egg mixture into each tart shell about 2/3 full. Top each tart with the remaining 1/4 cup Swiss cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until egg is set in the middle of each tart and shells are browned, 25 to 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Cook the onion and bacon over a low heat until the onion is softened.
• Allow to cool a little.
• Mix together with the eggs, cream, cheese, parsley and salt and pepper.
• Using a cookie cutter or glass, cut 12 circles from each pastry sheet.
• Use these to line a mini muffin pan.
• Place about 2 teaspoons of the egg and bacon mix in each pastry base.
• Bake in a moderate oven for about 12 minutes per tray (or until puffed, golden and set).
• repeat with remaining pastry sheets and mix.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F; grease 6 muffin tins with butter (if you prefer to cut the recipe down to serve 2 or 4 simply put a bit of water in the unused muffin tins).
• Lightly press 1/4 cup (not packed) of the hash browns into each cup; season with salt and taco seasoning.
• Place in oven for about 10 minutes (potatoes may start to brown a bit on the edges).
• Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, onions, peppers, and bacon; season with additional salt and taco seasoning.
• Divide spinach among cups; top with egg mixture; spoon a tablespoon of milk in each cup.
• Place in oven for about 20-25 minutes; you will know they are done when the center is set and they are puffy (they will deflate when they start to cool).
• While the quiches are cooking, in a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, the vinegar, paprika, and chili powder.
