sophisticated individual club quiches
I made these for friends and they absolutely raved about them. Now it is the most requested recipe I have when it comes to serving something for brunch. These are great served with a scone and a mimosa. Regular orange just will do just fine as well!

This is an easy breakfast recipe to assemble, and it looks impressive. There are a few steps to making these quiches, but if prepped ahead of time, assembly can happen in a snap. The ham crust is slightly sweet and salty compared to the creamy, custardy texture of the filling. A blend of Parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, and Swiss cheese adds a nutty and tangy flavor. Smoky bacon and savory diced turkey or chicken add savory notes. A drizzle of hollandaise sauce turns these mini quiches into an elegant addition to a brunch.

How To Make sophisticated individual club quiches
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray each hole in the cupcake pan lightly with non-stick spray. Form a piece of deli ham into each cup to make a liner for the quiche, making sure to raise the ham a little higher than the cupcake hole so that the mixture stays inside the cup. -
Step 2In a large bowl, combine eggs, cream, milk, salt, pepper, garlic, and tarragon. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and well blended.
-
Step 3Set aside a little bit of the cheddar cheese and bacon for topping. Add the remaining cheddar cheese, bacon, turkey, tomatoes, Swiss cheese, and hot sauce to the bowl.
-
Step 4Blend well with a spatula.
-
Step 5Take a ladle and add egg mixture to each prepared hole in the cupcake pan about 3/4 full.
-
Step 6Top with Parmesan cheese, the remaining cheddar cheese, and remaining bacon.
-
Step 7Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until puffy and done in the middle.
-
Step 8Serve with a dollop of hollandaise sauce.
