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.

Crust Ingredients
2¼ cups All-Purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Salt
3/4 cup Unsalted Butter, Cold and Cubed
8-10 tablespoons Water, Ice Cold
Custard Filling Ingredients
1 Shallot
1 Garlic Clove
6 Mushrooms, Medium Size
2 handfuls Fresh Baby Spinach
8 slices Ham
1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
Salt to taste
4 Eggs
1 ½ cups Heavy Cream
Salt to taste
1/4 teaspoon Pepper
1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
½ cup Gruyere Cheese, Grated
½ cup Aged Cheddar Cheese, Grated
½ cup Parmesan Cheese, Grated
¼ teaspoon Chilli Flakes
¼ teaspoon Dried Parsley
Method
1. In a bowl add flour, salt, and cold cubed butter. Give it stir with a fork so that the salt gets well distributed and the butter cubes get a light coat of the flour.
2. Using a pastry cutter/fork or your fingers cut the butter until crumbs are formed. Now with the palm of your hand very lightly flatten the small butter lumps.
3. Add cold water and very lightly using a fork to form into a dough. When it begins to come together, do not kneed just press it together.
4. Now Transfer the dough to a work surface, flatten it into a disk and wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, to make the filling, chop the shallot and the garlic clove very finely.
6. In a large skillet, melt the butter and add the chopped shallot and garlic and sauté till the shallot turns translucent and the garlic cooks.
7. Now add the and spinach and mushrooms and cook until the spinach has wilted, and the mushrooms have just cooked. Do not overcook the mushrooms. If the spinach and mushrooms release any juices drain it in a sieve before adding to the pie dish.
8. In a bowl beat eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, nutmeg and set aside.
9. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface. Roll until the dough is about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer the dough to either a 9” or 11” loose bottom pie pan. Using a small piece of the dough press the pastry onto the bottom and up the sides of your pan. Trim off the excess dough off the top of the pan using a knife. Gently pierce the bottom of the crust with a fork. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate one more time for 30 minutes.
10. Preheat the oven to 350F (175C). Line a parchment paper over the dough. Fill with dry beans, rice, or pie weights. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the weights and the parchment paper. Return the crust to the oven for another 5-10 minutes or until the crust is slightly golden.
11. To build the quiche, distribute the spinach, mushroom, and ham on the baked pie crust, sprinkle shredded gruyere and cheddar cheese. Spoon the custard and garnish with some parmesan cheese, chili flakes, and dried parsley.
12. Place the pie pan into another baking sheet and place into the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the quiche has set and the top has turned golden brown
13. Allow the quiche to cool for 10-15 minutes so that the quiche sets before cutting.
Enjoy!
