THREE CHEESE QUICHE BITES

Steps:

BASIC CHEESE QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°; prick the crust all over with a fork.
• Line it with tin foil and weight the bottom with a pile of dried beans, rice, or other weights that will sit flat on the surface.
• Bake 12 minutes; remove from the oven and carefully remove the weight and foil; turn the oven to 325°.
• In a bowl, combine the eggs, cheese, cream, and seasonings; beat until well blended.
• Place the baked crust on a baking sheet; pour the egg mixture into the crust, right to the top.
• Carefully transfer the baking sheet to the oven; bake 30-40 minutes, until the mixture is set but still moist; it should still jiggle just a little in the middle (cover pie crust edges with foil if getting too brown).
• Cool on a rack; serve warm or at room temperature.

CHEESE QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 and bake pie shell until done.

• Pour the mixture evenly over the cheese in the pastry shell.
• Bake until the filling is puffed around the sides and a knife inserted in center comes out clean (30 to 40 minutes).
• Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.

EASIEST CHEESE QUICHE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 F.
• Let refrigerated crust stand at room temperature for 15 minutes, then gently unroll. Place in a 9-inch pie pan , press into bottom and up sides, and flute edges. Be careful not to stretch the pie crust as you work, because if you do, it will shrink during baking.
• Sprinkle cheese into the bottom of the pie crust; set aside.
• In a medium-sized bowl, combine the eggs, milk, cream, flour, chives, salt, and pepper, and beat with a wire whisk until the mixture is smooth and incorporated.
• Pour the custard mixture carefully over the cheeses in the crust.
• Bake the quiche for 40 to 50 minutes until the quiche is puffed, golden brown, and set. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting into wedges. Serve and enjoy.

CHEESY QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heavily spray a 12-cup nonstick muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crispy, about 6 minutes. Remove the bacon to a plate with a slotted spoon and pour 2 to 3 tablespoons of the bacon fat (see Cook's Note) into a large, heatproof bowl. To the bacon fat, add the crushed corn flakes and Cheddar. Stir the mixture together until it starts to clump. Press the mixture into the cups of the prepared muffin pan. Bake until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove and cool slightly on a baking rack in the pan.
• Return the skillet to medium-high heat and add the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the onions and cook until softened and starting to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle on the mustard, salt, paprika and pepper. Stir the collard greens into the onion mixture. Continue cooking the greens, stirring occasionally, until wilted, 5 to 6 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Whisk together the half-and-half and eggs, then stir in the greens. Pour some of the egg mixture into each crust in the pan to come about three-quarters of the way up and sprinkle on the bacon. Bake until the egg has set and doesn't jiggle, 15 to 20 minutes. Set the mini quiches on a baking rack for 10 minutes to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.
