Mini Quiche Appetizers


These little tender bites of quiche are perfect for a breakfast brunch, or on an antipasti platter. I simply use a basic, medium sized muffin tin which creates delicious two bite treats. I use a mix of a couple of different cheeses in my quiche, depending on what I have on hand, although that always includes a soft melting cheese such as Fontina or Asiago that I cut into small dice, as well as a dried grated cheese like Pecorino or Parmesan.

For color, I chop and scatter fresh parsley and basil into the quiche before baking, although you could also use chopped spinach as well. You could also add either diced, browned pancetta to the mini quiche, or finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Depending on my mood or what I have on hand, I may use a shortcrust pastry dough, or a store bought puff pastry to line my muffin tins. Both work equally well and create a tender, delicious mini quiche.

Buon Appetito!

      1. Yeah I figured that would be so, but I’m pressed for time and have a thousand other appetizers to make for a party, so frozen they’ll have to be! Thank you!
