Mini Quiche’s make delicious Hors d’Oeuvres for any party or gathering.

With almost an unlimited variety of fillings available Mini Quiche’s can be suitable for the most discriminating of guests.

While the basic idea of Quiche is quite simple, the unlimited varieties of fillings that can be used makes the mini quiche the perfect appetizer and finger food for any party or event.

For instance the simple and versitile basic Mini Quiche Recipe is easy to follow and prepare.

Start with 3 eggs, lightly beaten, 1 1/4 cups Half and Half or Heavy Cream. Whisk these together and add Coarse Kosher Salt and fresh Ground Pepper to taste. From there you simply add the desired filling of choice to 40 baked tiny tartlet shells and pour in a small amount of the above egg mix. Place the tiny tartlet shells on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees until the egg mixture is set. Usually about 8 minutes.

It is from that simple recipe that most Mini Quiche Recipes originate. The difference is in the mini quiche shells, the filling and and alternate toppings.

How you use the recipes, how you fit the food to the occasion is where culinary magic happens.

Mini Quiche Cooking Secret Tip: The liquid custard filling used with Quiche Recipes can easily spill over the edge when moving your pan into the oven, esp with Mini Quiches. A good idea is to add your filling to the shell, put your pan on the oven rack, then add your custard from an easily pourable container.
