BETH'S MINI QUICHE RECIPE
Makes 8
4-Mini Quiche (Print recipe here:
For Crust:
2 ½ cups (300g) flour
½ tsp (2.5ml) salt
1 cup (240g) of butter, diced
2 egg yolks
¼ cup (60ml) ice water
For Egg Custard:
8 eggs
1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon (7 g) of cornstarch for lining pastry shells before filling with custard
For Fillings:
Leek and Swiss (makes 2)
1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
1 leek, sliced into thin circles
2 tablespoons (30ml) Swiss Cheese
Salmon, Goat Cheese Dill (Makes 2)
2 tablespoons (30ml) crumbled goat cheese
2 tablespoons (30ml) shredded smoked salmon
2 tablespoons (30ml) fresh dill, minced
Spinach and Feta (Makes 2)
2 tablespoons (30ml) feta cheese
2 tablespoons (30ml) thawed frozen spinach
2 tsp (10ml) fresh Italian parsley
Tomato, Pesto Mozzarella (Makes 2)
2 tablespoons (30 ml) mozzarella cheese
2 cherry tomatoes, sliced into 4-5 wheels each
1 tsp (10 ml) pesto
METHOD:
Add flour and salt to a food processor and pulse. Then add the butter, a little at a time, pulsing until a coarse meal forms.
Then measure out the water, add ice cubes to it. Then pour this water into another Pyrex pitcher, straining the ice. This will give you very cold water. Add the egg yolks and whisk to combine. Then slowly add the yolk mixture to the food processor pulsing all the while until the dough forms into a ball.
Transfer to a floured surface, press down into a disc and wrap in wax paper. Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, or overnight.
Roll out dough on a floured surface, to ¼ “ (6mm) thickness. Place tins upside down on the dough and cut out a circle about 1 inch (2.5 cm) larger than tin. Fit dough into the tin, pressing it down, and then pushing dough past the fluting to rip off naturally. Continue to fit the dough in tins, then trim edges with a sharp knife. Repeat the process until all tins are prepped with the dough. Place tins on a baking sheet and place in the freezer for 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350F (175C).
Meanwhile, mix together the egg filling. In a medium-size bowl or a Pyrex pitcher crack in 8 eggs and beat together. Then add the heavy cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Slice the leeks, white parts only, into circles. Sautee in olive oil until fragrant and crispy. Allow to cool.
Then prepare all the fillings and have everything measured out and ready to go.
Remove Quiche tin from the freezer and sprinkle a little of the cornstarch in the bottom of each pastry shell and brush to distribute with a pastry brush.
For each pastry add the cheese first. On the bottom.
Add the custard to each pastry shell with a Turkey Baster. Allows for excellent filling precision! Only fill ¾ of the way full. Top with the various fillings.
Bake at 350F (175C) for 30 minutes then increase to 375F (190C) and bake for 5-7 minutes until the pastry is golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly. Remove from tins and serve immediately or. Place cooled quiche on a baking sheet, cover loosely with foil. Pop in the fridge. And then reheat when ready to serve at 350F (175C) for 15 minutes.
To serve place quiche across 2 square plates with a little pound of parsley, microgreens or watercress in the center of a plate.

How to Make ANY Quiche! (No Recipe Required)
Today we’re going to make quiche. There are many different types of quiche, the most famous being Quiche Lorraine, but by the end of this video you won’t be limited to just one flavor combination… think chard/white bean/parm, chicken/pesto/thyme, or even something like kimchi/kalbi! The opps are endless, people.
There’s a time and place for an exact recipe, but like the great... I'm spacing on the dude's name... said, to know one recipe means that you know one recipe, but if you know 1 technique you know 1,000 recipes... or something fairly similar to that. We’ll start with the French shortbread pastry crust, otherwise known as pâte brisée (“pat-bree-zee,”) then move onto the formula for the egg base and from there the world is yours. Quiche however you dang tootin’ well please. More below… Good Quiching! ????????Adam
Good kitchen scale -
Deep Tart Pan -
ALL-PURPOSE PIE DOUGH (pâte brisée):
250g (about 2 cups) Bread Flour
205g (18 tbsp, about 2 1/ 5 sticks) Unsalted Butter
3g (1/ 3) tsp Kosher Salt
70-85g (1/ 4 cup) Ice Water *amount depends on humidity of environment

Quiche | Creamy Cheese & Onion Quiche
Super creamy cheese and onion quiche. Enjoy hot or cold!
#CheeseandOnionQuiche #ASMR #PrepCookEat
Ingredients:
300g plain flour plus extra for dusting
140g cold butter (salted tastes better but can use unsalted)
2 large onions (500g)
2 tbsp oil
3 eggs
300ml double cream
140g cheddar cheese
Salt to taste
Method:
1) Pour 300g plain flour into a mixing bowl. Add 140g cold butter to the flour and mix using only your fingers and not your palm. This will help prevent the butter from melting. Mix until the mixture resembles a breadcrumb like texture.
2) Add approximately 6 to 8 tbsp of cold water to the flour butter mixture. Mix again, you can use your whole hand this time, until mixture starts to come together.
3) Roll the dough out onto the worktop and knead for a minute. Roll into a ball and put in the fridge for 20 minutes to harden.
4) Remove the dough from the fridge and roll out on a floured surface so that the pastry is wider than the dish you will cook it in.
5) Place the rolled out pastry into an ovenproof dish, making sure that there is excess pastry hanging over the edge as the pastry will shrink when in the oven. Press the bottom of the pastry with a fork to prevent it rising too much.
6) Put in the the oven for 20 minutes at 180 degrees fan. This is the blind bake. Once done, remove and allow to cool
7) Cut 2 onions into thin slices
8) Fry the onions over a medium low heat in a pan until they start softening. Add salt at this stage.
9) Remove the onions from the heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes otherwise it will scramble the eggs when you make the quiche filling.
10) Add 3 eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk
11) Pour 300ml double cream into the eggs and mix
12) Now bring the onions into the cream egg mixture
13) Add half the cheese (70g) into the filling and mix
14) Pour filling into the partially cooked pastry dish. Add the remaining cheese on top
15) Bake for 30 minutes at 180 degrees fan until the filling becomes set and golden. Remove any excess pastry around the edge once cooked.
16) Quiche is ready to eat hot or allow to cool and can be eaten cold
Enjoy!
