Butternut Squash & Parmesan Crustless Mini Quiches

Fast and frugal finger food that isn't fancy, freezes well, and fancies most fridge food as a flavour enhancer. How's that for alliteration?

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons soft butter
  • 1/4 cup panko or bread crumbs
  • 4 eggs
  • 3/4 cup roasted butternut squash pulp
  • 1/2 cup 15% cream coffee cream, half and half, etc
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Generously butter a non-stick 24-cup mini muffin tin and sprinkle the cups with the Panko. Over the kitchen sink, rotate the pan so that the breadcrumbs stick to the sides of the mini muffin cups somewhat. Don't worry if they are not fully coated; they shouldn't be.
  2. In a medium sized mixing bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk until bubbles form. Add squash pulp and whisk into the eggs. Don't worry if a few lumps remain. Add the cream and mix again.
  3. Beat the salt, pepper, Parmesan and parsley into the egg mixture.
  4. Spoon two tablespoons of quiche batter into each mini muffin tin. You should have just enough for 24 mini quiche.
  5. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until set. Remove from oven, run a butter knife around the edges of the mini quiche and place on a serving platter. Serve hot.
