How To Make mini quiches

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly coat mini muffin pan cups with nonstick cooking spray. Gently roll out prepared piecrusts on surface lightly dusted with flour. Cut out 2 to 3” rounds from crusts with round cookie cutter or a drinking glass. Gently pat piecrust rounds into wells of mini muffin pans, flute or crimp edges if desired. Divide desired filling ingredients evenly among 24 mini muffin cups. Whisk together eggs, cream, half & half, salt and pepper and Dijon mustard; pour custard mixture over top of filling ingredients. Place jellyroll pan or cookie sheet under mini muffin pans to protect from bubbling over in oven. Place mini muffin pans on middle oven rack; bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until filling is just set in center. Remove from oven and serve warm.
