Mini Mushroom Quiche
Description
The Mini Mushroom Quiche recipe begins by preparing a simple crust from all-purpose flour, salt, oil, and ice-cold water, pressed thinly into mini tart pans to create a flaky base. The filling combines sautéed cremini mushrooms, yellow onion, and garlic seasoned with salt, pepper, and optional garlic powder, layered with chopped Swiss cheese.
Beaten eggs mixed with half-and-half form a creamy custard poured over the filling. Baking at 350°F for 30-35 minutes gently cooks the egg mixture while allowing the crust edges to develop a slight golden color. The result is a tender quiche with a savory mushroom and cheese flavor balanced by the smoothness of the custard and the flaky crust.
This recipe yields four mini quiches or one larger pie if the crust is pressed into a 9-10 inch dish, with adjusted baking time. Variations include substituting Swiss cheese with Gruyere, Gouda, or white cheddar. The quiches serve well as appetizers, breakfast, or a light meal.
Nutritional estimates should be adjusted if any ingredient changes are made.
