Mini quiches for midweek easy dinners and party food yum

Here is an easy recipe for mini quiches for midweek easy dinners. They are also pretty awesome & substantial party food fodder.

These were something I cooked up reasonably often for our daughters when they were much younger. Our girls still love these. Whenever a new batch comes hot out of the oven, they always reminisce and speak of being younger and being wrapped up in a warm dressing gown after swim school lessons. Treated then to a little lunch box each of these mini quiches for the car trip home.

You can serve these with so many things. Think creamy mash, a big green salad, sweet potato fries, steamed greens finished with great quality extra virgin olive oil & some lemon.

I truly hope you enjoy this recipe for Mini quiches for midweek easy dinners. Remember to rate it & leave a comment if you do love it.

Equipment

2 Muffin trays
1 Oven

Ingredients

2 sheets of store-bought shortcrust pastry sheets
⅔ cup great quality free-range ham diced into small pieces
⅔ cup cheddar cheese grated
250 ml milk
2 eggs
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 190°C fan forced or 210°C conventional oven.
Defrost pastry by placing it on a clean surface for approximately 10 minutes.
In a small jug, add the milk, egg and salt and whisk to combine.
Using round cookie cutters, cut circles that will fit in to your muffin tins, making sure they are just a little larger than the holes. Place a good pinch of ham and cheese in each pastry and top with the milk and egg mixture.
Place your quiches in the oven for 12–15 minutes or until cooked and golden.

Notes

Tips and Variations
• Experiment with your fillings. You could also add corn kernels and finely chopped spring onion to the above recipe or omit the ham and use flaked tuna or salmon instead.
• Another variation is to add cubes of roasted pumpkin with pine nuts and spinach and perhaps some sautéed red onion or caramelised onions.
• Blue cheese is also a lovely substitute for the cheddar with some snap-fried prosciutto added along with red onions and fresh oregano.
