Mini Quiche with Parmesan

Ingredients

• For the dough:
• • 250 gr all -purpose flour
• • 125 gr unsalted butter (cut in small pieces)
• • 1 egg
• • Salt
• For the filling:
• • 100 gr bacon or ham (or a mix) cut small
• • 1 small red onion (finely sliced)
• • 1 small leek (cut into small pieces)
• • 150 gr broccoli rosettes
• • 2 tomatoes (cut into slices)
• • 200 ml full cream
• • 3 eggs
• • 250 gr grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

• 1• A quick way to make the dough is to use a food processor
• 2• Place the dough ingredients (without the egg) in the food processor and pulse until mixed
• 3• Add the egg to the mix and pulse until a dough forms
• 4• Remove the dough from the bowl and knead into a firm dough. Do not over knead or else the dough will shrink during baking
• 5• Wrap the dough in cling wrapl and allow resting for an hour in the fridge
• 6• Dust a flat surface with some flour and press the dough into a round shape. With a rolling pin roll the dough into a ¼ inch thick round shape turning the dough for a quarter after every roll. So, roll turn, roll turn and so on
• 7• Cut small rounds from the dough using a cookie cutter about ½ inch bigger than the moulds you use. Grease your moulds and press the rounds in the moulds
• 8• Fill the dough covered moulds for 1/3rd with beans (any beans will do) and bake in a 160 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes
• 9• Remove the beans from the moulds, leave the baked dough inside the moulds
• 10• Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet to medium heat, add the onion, bacon and fry for a minute. Add the leek and broccoli and fry for another minute
• 11• Whisk the eggs and cream together in a bowl
• 12• Divide the veggie mix over the dough cups and add some egg cream mix so the vege is just coverd. Top with a tomato slice and top with the Parmesan cheese.
• 13• Bake in a 180 degrees oven for 15 minutes
• 14• Allow the quiches to cool for a few minutes and remove from the moulds
• 15• You can keep the mini quiches for a few days and reheat in an oven or microwave or enjoy the cold on the go.
