Mini Quiche Lorraine Recipe
Mini Quiche Lorraine are small savory tarts made with a tender pie crust filled with a creamy mixture of eggs, half-and-half, nutmeg, chopped bacon, Gruyere or Swiss cheese, and parsley. These bite-sized quiches have a browned top and a fully cooked crust shell, offering a rich and flavorful filling with a smooth texture and subtle spiced notes. They suit gathering snacks, brunch, or appetizers.
Ingredients
- 1 refrigerated pie crust
- 3 trips Bacon cooked and chopped
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped
- 1 cup gruyere cheese shredded, or swiss cheese
- 4 egg
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 Degrees F.
- Spray the crevices of a mini muffin tin using nonstick spray
- On a floured surface carefully spread out the pie dough
- Cut out circles using the rim of a glass or a round cookie cutter
- Insert each circle in the crevices of a muffin tin. Make the muffin shape with your fingers. Prick the insides of each dough with a fork (this will prevent them from puffing up)
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until they start to brown
- In a bowl mix the eggs, half and half, salt, pepper, parsley, and nutmeg until combined
- Remove muffin tin from oven and fill each quiche with bacon and cheese. Carefully pour in the egg mixture. Add some more cheese on top
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until tops are browned and crust is cooked all the way through
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Turkey bacon can be used as a leaner alternative to traditional bacon.
- Mini quiches can be baked in advance and frozen for up to six months.
- Reheat frozen quiches in a 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes until heated through and bubbly.
