Mini Quiche Recipe Recipe from: exclusivelyfood.au These quiches can be cooked in advance and kept in the refrigerator or freezer to be reheated when required. Reheat them in the oven rather than the microwave so that the pastry stays crisp. Makes 18 mini quiches. We use a 20ml tablespoon and 250ml measuring cup for all of our recipes. 3 large eggs (we use eggs with a minimum weight of 59g) 90ml (4 1/2 tablespoons) cream (35 to 40 percent fat) 3 teaspoons (18g) grated onion 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg Salt and pepper 2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed (we use sheets that measure about 25cm by 25cm) 100g (1 cup, firmly packed) grated tasty cheddar cheese 115g (2/3 cup, firmly packed) finely chopped shaved leg ham Preheat oven to 210 degrees Celsius (190 degrees Celsius fan-forced). Generously grease a muffin pan (about 1/3 cup capacity holes). Using a fork or small whisk, beat eggs, cream, grated onion, nutmeg, salt and pepper in a small bowl until well combined. Using a round cutter with a diameter of 8cm, cut nine circles from each sheet of pastry. Line each muffin hole with a pastry round. Divide grated cheese and ham evenly between pastry cases. Spoon about one tablespoon of egg mixture into each pastry case. Bake for about 20-22 minutes, or until quiches are golden and puffed. If you intend to reheat the quiches, reduce the baking time by about two minutes. This will prevent the quiches from overbrowning when reheated. Serve quiches hot or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
