Mini Swiss Cheese Quiche
By: KITTENCAL
Mar 7, 2006
To really make these easy purchase ready made pie pastry in the refrigerator section. You can also make these using regular size muffin tins, the servings will be less and baking time will have to be adjusted. If you make these on mini muffin tins you should get anywhere from 24-26 mini quiches. If you don't have a 2-1/2-inch round cutter then just use the top of a glass. The recipe can be doubled.
SERVES 24 -26
Ingredients
- 2 prepared pie pastry (enough to cut out 25 2-1/2-inch rounds)
- 2 cups finely shredded swiss cheese
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup half-and-half cream (or use full-fat milk)
- 3 tablespoons canned pimientos, finely chopped (can use less)
- salt (I use about 1/4 teaspoon)
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
Directions
1
Heat oven to 375 degrees.2
Spray 24 mini muffin tins with nonstick cooking spray.3
Roll out the dough, then cut into 24-26 2-1/2-inch rounds (you might get less).4
Press one round into the bottom and sides of each mini muffin tin.5
Place about 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese in the bottom of the crust.6
Top with a few green onions, and then some chopped pimientos.7
In a small bow, whisk together the eggs, half and half cream, salt, cayenne and Parmesan cheese.8
Divide the mixture between each muffin tin to within 1/4 inch from the top.9
Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.10
Cool 3 minutes then carefully run a knife around the quiches and lift out.11
Serve warm.

These were GREAT! I have made these twice, the 1st time as posted but with cheddar and they were way overdone so the next time I used swiss and I followed suggestions of other reviewers and mixed stuff together then filled pastry AND cut cooking time, they came out perfect! They are VERY tasty and addictive! Thank you for posting

Excellent and easy! I made these for a bbq/potluck at my house. I topped each of the quiches with a slice of red (or yellow) roasted bell pepper. Even my DH ("real men don't eat quiche...") loved them! 
Thanks!

I made these little jewels last night to take to today's Valentine's Day potluck at work. The reviews were great! I had to elbow my way in to get just one for myself!! Some changes I made to the recipe were to add some precooked finely chopped bacon and thinly sliced red bell pepper on the very top. The 25min baking time was way to long so I reduced it down to 20 minutes. When I make them again I would like to try mixing the shredded cheese in with the egg mixture instead of laying the cheese on the bottom of the muffin cups as it didn't blend as well as I wanted it to. Also I would like to change the cheese up with PepperJack to kick it up a bit more Overall - this was a wonderful recipe that I would defintly recommend.

Easy and delicious. I used frozen puff pastry and patty-pan tins. Great hot or cold and would be at ideal on an appetizer platter and also a great addition to lunch boxes.
