Oh, look. It’s another quiche for French Fridays with Dorie, which actually just fine with me as quiche was something I used to make all the time, but really, for the past 10 years or so I’ve made it hardly at all. It’s a lot of fun to rediscover it with the recipes in Around my French Table. For this one, I did something a little different — mini quiches!
Notes:
1. I halved the recipe and had enough custard and mushrooms for three mini quiches. Unfortunately, I only had enough leftover whole wheat and olive oil crust for two. I improvised on the third quiche-lette with a circular piece of spinach tortilla.
2. I added garlic to the mushroom & shallot mixture.
3. Uh, I added a little bit more cheese than the recipe called for…and I used Parmesan instead of Gruyere.
4. I par-baked my wheat crusts for about 10 minutes at 400 degrees F before adding the filling.
Okay, on with the link to everyone’s posts and my photos below. And if you want to make the recipe but don’t yet have the cookbook, here’s the recipe at epicurious.com.
Diced shiitake mushrooms, diced shallots in the background.
Wheat tart dough spread out in each mini pan.
Spinach tortilla to the rescue!
Mushrooms, shallots and just a little bit of Parmesan.
Filled with egg and cream, more parm and green onions on top.
We each had a mini quiche with some spinach salad.
Bonus photo! Carved Halloween pumpkins.
Aw, your mini-quiches are so cute! And delicious-looking as well! And may I just say that those are truly some awesome jack-o-lanterns!?Very cool!
Excellent job on the jack-o-lanterns, AND on the spinach tortilla wrap improv. Looks good!
That whole wheat dough sounds interesting. Since I hate to make traditional tart dough anyway, might as well try a vaguely healthy one and see if it’s any easier.
Mini quiches look delicious. Nice looking jack-o-lanterns:)
The mini quiches are really cute. Nice idea for lunch. I’m going to check out your WW crust recipe, sounds intriguing. My pumpkins never got carved, so I’m impressed. Have a good weekend.
I have to agree – 2 Tbs of cheese was no where near enough from this cheese lover’s viewpoint.
Mini-quiche sounds like a great idea.
Your mini quiches look adorable. Glad you enjoyed, hope you have a terrific weekend!
Love the mini-quiches. Whole wheat crust is always a good idea and especially good for this recipe, I think. I just pulled all my cheese left-overs from the fridge and threw them all on top so I used way more than Dorie suggested. Cute pumpkins.
They are very cute! Your crust recipe sounds great.
Love the pumpkins!
