Ingredients

Filling:

  • 6 eggs
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • Assorted filling items - such as bacon, ham, onion, leek, broccoli, asparagus, basil, zucchini, cheddar cheese, gruyere, swiss, pepper-jack cheese
  • Note: veggies and meats should be precooked and cut into small pieces.
  • salt and pepper to taste

Pie Dough:

  • 2 ready-to-bake refrigerated pie crusts.
  • If you want to make your own - Check out this all-purpose pie dough recipe.

Muffin tin or individual tart pans

    Instructions

    • For the pie crust
    • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
    • Unroll refrigerated piecrust according to package directions, on a lightly floured surface.
    • Cut the pie dough into that fit either your muffin tin or tartlet pan circles (you want about a 1/2 inch of dough to overhang the pan, so you'll be able to crimp your edge.
    • Do not prick dough.
    • Now we want to add weight and cover the pie crust for the first couple of minutes of cooking.
    • Grab 2 layers of heavy duty tin foil big enough to line your individual pie crusts.
    • Line the unpricked pie crusts with the double thick heavy-duty foil.
    • Bake for 8 minutes. Pre-cooking the crust will give you a crispy crust that will stand up to the egg mixture.
    • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until pastry is set and just starting to get lightly browned.
    • Remove from the oven.
    • Keep warm - the pie crust should not be pre-baked ahead of time.
    • Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F.

    Filling:

    • Lightly beat the egg and stir in the cream.
    • Place the filling ingredients in the bottom of the mini-quiches. Fill the quiches almost to the top with the filling, be sure not to overfill the small quiches.
    • Once the quiches are together, cook in a 350-degree oven for 20-25 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
