Mini Crustless Quiches With Mushrooms And Swiss Chard Recipes

MINI CRUSTLESS QUICHES WITH MUSHROOMS AND SWISS CHARD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray the cavities of a 12-cup muffin tin with the cooking spray.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the onion, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the chard and mushrooms and cook until the chard wilts and mushrooms release their moisture, 5 to 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Whisk the eggs with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese and a few dashes of hot sauce in a large bowl, preferably with a spout. Season with salt and pepper.
• Evenly divide the chard mixture between the muffin cups. Pour the egg mixture over the top and stir each cup with a fork to make sure the ingredients are evenly distributed. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 to 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan and bake until slightly golden and a toothpick or butter knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
• Loosen the mini crustless quiches from the muffin cups with a rubber spatula and transfer to a platter for serving.

CRUSTLESS SWISS CHARD QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Wash and dry swiss chard. Cut off the very ends of the stems. Roughly chop (leaving stems intact) the chard.
• Add onion and Chard to the oil and saute until stems are tender (do not overcook). Add salt & pepper to taste.
• Meanwhile, grate 2.5 cups of cheese. Use whatever varieties you want/have. Be creative! I used Swiss, Cheddar, Parmesan, and Cojito.
• Wisk eggs. Add milk and cheese. Fold in the onion/chard mixture. Add salt & pepper to taste, if necessary.
• Pour into a pie dish that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
• Bake for 35-45 minutes or until golden brown and no liquid seeps when you poke it with a knife.

CRUSTLESS MINI QUICHE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large bowl whisk the eggs and milk until eggs are broken up. Stir in the rest of the ingredients.
• Grease a metal cupcake tin and pour the mixture into each cup filling it ¾ of the way.
• Bake in the oven for 17 minutes or until knife inserted comes out clean.

CHEESY SPINACH (OR SWISS CHARD) AND MUSHROOM QUICHE

Steps:

• Drain the spinach very, very well. I squeeze it and them roll it in paper towels to get all liquid out - otherwise, a soggy pie.
• Place spinach in pie shell.
• Top spinach with mushrooms.
• Sprinkle nutmeg over mushroom.
• Top mushrooms with cheese.
• Beat eggs well and add half and half, salt and pepper.
• Pour egg mixture over cheese, being careful not to let it run over edges of the pie. I use the tip of a knife to move the cheese a bit so that the egg mixture can get through to the bottom of the pie.
• Bake at 350F for 45-50 minutes. Top will be lightly browned and it won't look wet. Let it sit for about 10 minutes before cutting and serving.

MINI QUICHES (CRUSTLESS)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spray 36 mini muffin cups with cooking spray.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and crumble in sausage. Cook and stir until sausage is crumbly and evenly browned, about 10 minutes . Drain and discard any excess grease.
• Sprinkle sausage, Cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese, and green onion evenly into the prepared muffin cups.
• Beat eggs, potato flakes, and cream together in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Pour egg mixture evenly over the sausage-cheese mixture in the muffin cups.
• Bake in the preheated oven until quiches are set in the middle and lightly browned, about 22 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In large skillet, melt butter and saute onion, pepper and mushroom (you may do this separately if you want to make different kinds of quiches).
• Mix eggs, milk, and spices.
• Slice the sausage links and cut bacon into bite-size pieces.
• Spray muffin tins (whichever you prefer).
• In each tin, add whatever fillings you would like (onion, pepper, mushroom, cheese, meat).
• Ladle in the egg until the fillings are just covered (not too close to the top).
• Bake about 10-15 minutes until fluffy and slightly brown.
• Remove from oven and serve warm!
