Mini Broccoli Cheddar Quiches 3 Ways Recipe By Tasty Food

CHEDDAR-CRUSTED & BACON BROCCOLI QUICHE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
• Add 2 cups (200 g) of cheddar cheese and the butter to a large bowl. Mix to combine with an electric hand mixer or stand mixer.
• Add the flour, paprika, garlic powder, and 2 teaspoons salt and mix well. Add 3 tablespoons of ice water and mix. Add the remaining ice water 1 tablespoon at a time. The dough should hold together when pinched, but crumble apart if you break it up in your hand. If it seems too dry, add a bit more ice water.
• Transfer the dough to a clean surface and knead with your hands until it comes together. Shape the dough into a disc, then wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough into a circle about ⅛ inch (8 mm) thick. Carefully transfer the crust to a 9½-inch (24-cm) glass pie dish.
• Trim the edges (save the trimmings to make crackers!). Poke holes in the bottom of the crust with a fork, then use the tines to crimp the edges. Line the dough with parchment paper and fill with pie weights.
• Bake for 30 minutes, until the edges are crisp.
• While the crust is baking, prepare the fillings. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until crisp, 5-7 minutes. Using tongs, remove the bacon from the skillet and let drain on paper towels until cool enough to handle.
• Add the broccoli to the skillet and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
• Chop the bacon.
• Remove the pie weights from the crust, then add the broccoli and chopped bacon to the center. Sprinkle with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
• In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the milk, remaining ½ teaspoon salt, and the pepper. Whisk to combine.
• Pour the egg mixture over the fillings in the crust.
• Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly browned. Cover the edges with tinfoil if they are starting to burn.
• Let the quiche cool for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
• Enjoy!

• In a bowl, mix together the eggs, broccoli, tomatoes, onion, remaining cheddar, half-and-half, and the rest of the salt and pepper.

MINI BROCCOLI CHEDDAR QUICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Add the room temperature butter and room temperature cream cheese to a bowl. Use a mixer to whip them together until evenly combined.
• Begin stirring in the flour, about ¼ cup at a time, until a dough forms. The dough should be soft, but not sticky.
• Divide the dough into 12 equal portions (begin by dividing into four pieces, then divide each quarter into three equal-sized pieces). Roll each piece of dough into a ball, then drop each one into the well of a muffin tin. Use your fingers to press the dough down into the center and up the sides of the wells (see step by step photos below for more help).
• Whisk together the eggs, milk, Parmesan, garlic powder, pepper, and salt in a bowl.
• Finely chop the thawed broccoli florets (about 1.5 cups once chopped). Shred the cheddar cheese (about 1 cup shredded). Add the broccoli and cheddar to the egg mixture and stir to combine.
• Divide the broccoli cheddar mixture between the twelve mini pie crusts. The liquid egg mixture will not fully submerge the broccoli and cheddar in the crusts, but it will puff up and fill the crust once baked.
• Bake the mini quiches in the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until puffed in the center and golden brown around the edges.
• Carefully transfer the baked quiches to a wire rack to cool. Serve warm, or at room temperature within two hours of baking.

• In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, cream, eggs, and egg yolks.
• Stir in cheese, salt, pepper and nutmeg.
• Add chopped broccoli to the mixture.
• Put muffin tin on baking sheet and then ladle egg mixture into prepared muffin cups, filling each cup.
• Bake until lightly browned and no longer jiggly in center, about 25-35 minutes.

DAIRY-FREE BROCCOLINI "CHEDDAR" QUICHE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
• Roll out the crust on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch (25 cm) round about ⅛ inch (3 mm) thick. Gently transfer the crust to a 9-inch (22 cm) pie dish. Trim any excess dough around the edges. Fold the edges of dough back underneath itself, then crimp using an index finger knuckle on one hand and the thumb and index finger on the other hand.
• Place a piece of parchment paper in the center of the crust. Add the dried beans to the center and spread toward the sides of the crust - this will add weight to keep the crust from puffing up and hold up the walls while baking.
• Bake the crust for 15 minutes. Carefully remove the weights by lifting out the parchment paper, then bake for 5 minutes more, until the dough no longer looks raw. Remove from the oven and let cool.
• While the crust bakes, make the filling: Set the tofu in a fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl. Let drain for 10 minutes.
• In a large skillet, combine the water, broccolini, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Cover and steam over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes, until the broccolini is bright green and tender. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
• Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat until just shimmering. Add the onion and ¼ teaspoon salt. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until the onion is translucent. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
• Crumble the tofu into a blender. Add the chickpea flour, oat milk, coconut oil, turmeric, garlic powder, kala namak, remaining teaspoon of salt, the cornstarch, miso, and nutritional yeast. Blend on high speed for 60-90 seconds, until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl.
• Season the filling with the pepper. Set aside a few larger pieces of broccolini for topping, then fold the rest of the steamed broccolini and sautéed onions into the "egg" mixture.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared crust. Arrange the reserved broccolini on top.
• Cover the quiche with aluminum foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, until the quiche is set and no longer jiggling in the center and the crust is beginning to brown. Let cool for 30 minutes before slicing.
• Garnish the quiche with the chives, then slice and serve.
• Enjoy!
