Recipe for Mini Quiches

Mini Quiches - Spinach and Cream Cheese
I have been absolutely dying to try this recipe ever since I curated it for my Squidoo lens Recipe for Quiche: Delicious and Easy to Make. This recipe was created by Diane Denny of Jacksonville, Florida and presented on Howdini.com.

What I think is particularly clever about this recipe is that the quiche crust is make from Pillsbury Crescent rolls. You just spray your muffin tin, line each cup with one crescent roll pastry triangle, and off you go. How easy is that?

I decided to make these for brunch recently and I was very pleased with the results. I award this recipe five stars and will definitely be adding this to my repertoire. I served three per person along side crisp bacon strips and fresh pineapple.

Ingredients:

2 cans of garlic dinner crescent rolls (8 triangles each)
1 - 8oz package of softened cream cheese
3 eggs
1/4 cup of chopped onion
1 box - 9oz of frozen spinach, thawed and drained (you will have to squeeze out the water)
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Note - I couldn't find garlic flavoured crescent rolls so I used the plain ones and added a little garlic power to the filling.

Recipe For Quiche

Quiche is such a versatile and easy-to-make dish that can be served for brunch, lunch, dinner or even a quick snack. While you can make the crust from scratch, I think there is no shame in keeping a ready-made pie crust in the freezer for times when you need to whip up a meal in a pinch. This is one of my favourite dishes because it is so easy to make and it tastes impressive.


Yam, Onion & Mushroom Quiche

Ingredients: 1/2 medium onion, 1 small to medium yam or sweet potato, 8-10 field mushrooms, 1 tbsp olive oil, 3 eggs, 3/4 cup milk, pinch of salt and pepper.


Directions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Thaw your pie shell if using a frozen shell. Chop up the onion, yam and mushroom. I chop the onion into strips, but you can dice it or finely chop it depending on what texture you like best. The yam should be thin enough so that it cooks at the same pace as the onion and mushroom. Heat in a skillet with olive oil until golden brown. Let your filling cool a little and then add to the pie shell. Whisk together the three eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Pour into the pie shell. Bake until golden brown, about 45 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

Serve with a salad & enjoy!
