With all the decadence of a miniature high tea treat you’ll enjoy the burst of flavour these mini quiches provide. With pops of capsicum and bacon (or ham, if preferred), these cheesy morsels will go down a treat at your next gathering. For some flavour variations, see the notes below the main recipe.
Ingredients
Method
Preheat oven to hot, 200°C. Lightly grease the recesses of a shallow 12-hole patty pan.
Cut 12 x 8cm rounds from the pastry sheets. Ease into prepared recesses of patty pan. Prick lightly with a fork.
Bake for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven. Reduce heat to moderate, 180°C.
Add equal amounts of bacon, cheese, capsicum and onion to each pastry case.
In a jug, whisk together the milk and eggs, then season to taste. Pour even amounts into each pastry case.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden and firm. Store mini quiches in an airtight container in the fridge. Serve with salad, if you like.
Mini quiches ingredient swaps
Change the flavours of these mini quiches by using salami and brie, blue cheese and spinach, or chargrilled vegetables in place of the original filling.
