Asparagus Quiche--------

This mini quiche recipe is a perfect hors d’oeuvre for a dinner party or a potluck. The small size makes this Asparagus Quiche recipe great for adults and kids alike!

For this recipe, you will need the following items:

  • 1/2 cup asparagus, chopped
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 dozen uncooked mini quiche tartlet shells
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup light cream
  • 1 cup feta cheese crumbles
  • 1/2 tsp garlic
  • salt and pepper to taste


Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Arrange the mini quiche tartlet shells on a non-greased baking sheet (you may need two, depending on the size).

Steam or boil the asparagus until flexible but firm, then blanch it in a bowl of ice water. Dice the asparagus into very small pieces, mix with lemon juice in a small bowl, and set aside to marinate.

Break the eggs into a large mixing bowl, and add the light cream. Beat eggs and cream until the mixture is light and uniform in color. Stir in feta cheese crumbles, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Drain the excess lemon juice from the asparagus and stir in as well. Spoon the mixture into the mini quiche tartlet shells.

 
FLEXIPAN for MINI QUICHE TARTLETS

Bake the asparagus quiche in a preheated oven for 10 or 15 minutes, or until the egg mixture looks fluffy and the tops are slightly golden brown. Oven temperatures vary, so check your mini quiches frequently - overcooking will result in overly chewy quiches. If you are unsure whether the quiches are done, you can also poke a toothpick into the center of a mini quiche - if it feels firm all the way down, it is done.

Remove the mini quiches from oven and allow them to cool in the pan for five minutes before carefully removing them with a spatula. Your mini quiches can be plated and eaten, or you can place them on a cooling rack until they are room temperature and then store them in a sealed tupperware in the refrigerator.

Enjoy!
