Mini Quiches Recipe
Adapted from 200 Recipes for Kids by Emma Jane Frost
Make 12 | Prep Time: 25 minutes | Bake Time: 18-20 minutes
Ingredients:
2-3 slices deli ham, diced
3 scallions, chopped (save 1 teaspoon for garnish)
5 cherry tomatoes, diced
1 extra large egg
3/8 cup (90g) milk
Vegetable oil for greasing
11-12oz ready rolled short/pie pastry, thawed (follow the instruction on the package)
All purpose flour, for dusting
1/3 cup grated cheese (cheddar/mozzarella)
Method:
Mix together the diced ham, chopped scallions and diced cherry tomatoes in a bowl. In another bowl, beat the egg and milk with a fork. Chill these ingredients as you prepare the pastry.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (210°C). Grease a 12-cupcakes pan.
Sprinkle a little all purpose flour on surface, roll out the pastry. If the pastry cracks when rolling out, use your fingers and slightly pinch to seal the crack.
Use a 3″ (7.5cm) round cutter. Cut out 12 circles and place each in a cup of the pan. Gently press down with your finger to form a shallow cup.
Divide the mixture of ham, scallions and tomatoes equally among the 12 cups. Fill each cup with the egg and milk mixture until 80-90% full. Sprinkle the cheese on top.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the mini quiches are set and golden. Garnish with some chopped scallions. Serve warm.
Cook’s Note:
If you don’t have a 3″ cookie cutter, use the rim of a drinking glass or container that is slightly wider than the cup in the pan.

looks delicious! =)
hmm. For parties. I’m not a party guy, and I certainly don’t like the party life style. But when having guests over i think i would have made Chicken Satay skewers with cashew nut sauce (tastes equally good with cashews, but doesn’t cause me any allergy), Yakitori skewers, Chicken Tikka skewers. anything that’s easy to cook for many people.
Anything BBQ-able tend to be a preference to serve:)
Tom Kha Gai have also been a hit on cold winter days as it’s easy to prepare for several people as it’s boiled.
Love this! Can you make these in advance and re-heat them?
Yes, you can re-heat them but the pastry may not be as crispy/flaky.
Thanks for the response!:-)
This is so cute. I like that I can use a store-bought pastry crust and then just pour in the egg mixture. Cuts a lot of prep time.
Looks delicious! I will definitely try out this recipe :)
Wow, yummy!!!!
Tried this out yesterday with puff pastry – very tasty! Hits the right balance. Thanks for having such reliable recipes time after time.
