Classic Vegetarian Mini Quiches
by Sofia Gallo by @in_cucinacon_sofia
A quick and easy fix for hungry crowds or for those summer picnics to the park. They can also be prepared in advance, and they only require a few ingredients. This version is vegetarian, but you can add your own preferred ingredients.
Prep: 30 min
Cook: 30-40 min
Difficulty Easy
Makes 18-20 mini tartlets
Ingredients
-
Readymade and rolled puff pastry – or shortcrust pastry
-
1 small red bell pepper – finely diced
-
1 small yellow bell pepper – finely diced
-
½ red onion – thinly sliced
-
Olive oil for cooking
-
Seasoning to taste
-
2 medium eggs
-
150 g crème fraiche
-
100 g grated gruyere cheese – or preferred one
Method
-
Make sure to take the pastry out of the fridge about 15 min before using. Place a frying pan on medium heat, once hot add 2 tbsp olive oil and add your vegetables. Season and cook until softened.
-
In the meantime, roll out the pastry and cut out 18-20 circles. Don’t get rid of the spare pastry as this can become cheesy straws.
-
In a jug mix your eggs, crème fraiche and seasoning and whisk with a fork until combined.
-
Time to assemble: Place the pastry circles on the tin holes. Make sure to leave these just on the top as the pastry will shrink whilst baking and place itself in the cases.
-
Add your vegetables, about a tsp for each tartlet, top with the egg mix, and sprinkle the gruyere cheese before baking in a preheated oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 until golden brown.
Enjoy hot or cold – these can also be frozen to be enjoyed later.
