Ingredients for Baby Swiss Quiches

  • Double Crust Pie Crust
  • Swiss Cheese
  • Green Onions
  • Chopped Pimiento
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

How to Make Baby Swiss Quiches

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray 24 miniature muffin cups with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Unroll one pie crust and lightly flour your work surface. Using a 2 1/2-inch floured cookie cutter, cut out 12 rounds.
  3. Gently press each round into a muffin cup, ensuring the pastry goes up the sides. Flute the edges for a decorative finish.
  4. Repeat with the second pie crust to create a total of 24 mini crusts.
  5. Divide the shredded Swiss cheese evenly among the 24 muffin cups (about 1 tablespoon per cup).
  6. Sprinkle each cup with a small amount of the chopped onion and pimiento.
  7. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and nutmeg until well combined.
  8. Carefully pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about 3/4 full, leaving 1/4 inch from the top.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the quiches are set and lightly golden brown.
  10. Let the quiches cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before carefully running a thin knife blade around the edges to loosen them.
  11. Remove the mini quiches from the muffin tin and serve warm. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
