Individual Quiches

These delightful little morsels are essentially made from 4 key components, that you can adjust and
vary to your liking.

• Base Mixture
• Protein
• Egg Mixture
• Pastry

• Optional Extras

Base Mixture

• 2 Onions
• 8-10 Mushrooms
• 1 – 1 ½ Cups of Frozen Corn
• 3 Cups Spinach
• 4-6 cloves of garlic

Dice and fry onion until they’re just starting to soften

Add diced mushrooms and a good pinch of salt

Fry until both are well softened

Add frozen corn and cook until defrosted

Add spinach and a good pinch of salt and cook until wilted and well combined

Add crushed garlic and fry until raw garlic edge is gone

Add pepper if desired

Place in a bowl and set aside

With this mixture you can really use whatever ingredients you like, grated zucchini, peas etc..

You’re looking for a nice, roughly even ratioed, well-seasoned, tasty vegie mixture. This recipe
makes quite a bit, as it keeps very well in the fridge, and we use it for many other applications.

Protein

Good options for tasty quiches include

• Diced, fried bacon

• Tinned salmon flaked
• Smoked salmon
• Marinated, fried, diced tofu
Egg Mixture

10 Eggs

Approx ½ Cup Milk

Salt and Pepper

Dried Mixed Herbs

Combine eggs and milk and mix well

Add salt, pepper and dried mixed herbs

Pastry

For this recipe I generally use sheets of puff pastry.

Depending on what size muffin tins I’m using will determine on what size I cut the sheets into.

• Large Muffin tins 4 squares per sheet

• Standard Muffin tins 9 squares per sheet
• Mini Muffin tins 12 squares per sheet

Once defrosted, cut the pastry into the appropriate sizes and line each hole of a well-greased muffin
tray with a square of pastry.

If using GF pastry, you’ll need to fold into 3 and re-roll the sheets, I find this easiest done in the
individual squares.

Optional Extras

Really anything else that you like, and not necessary, but some options include;

• Sliced tomato
• Fresh herbs
• Grated carrot
Putting it all Together

Preheat oven to 180oC

Take your pastry lined muffin trays

Spoon in a small amount of the base mixture, to take up around 1/3, ½ of the depth of the muffin
cup

Top with protein of choice

Add any extras

Spoon in the egg mixture until each cup is ¾ full to full, depending on your preference.

Once complete, roughly fold any extra pastry over the top

Place in the oven and cook until brown.

Enjoy the delight that sunshine filled quiches bring to your day..!!
