Ingredients
Pie Crust
- 1 refrigerated pie crust, rolled out
Filling
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 8 oz (225g) mushrooms, finely chopped
- 1 cup arugula, roughly chopped
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream
- ½ cup (50g) shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Pie Crust: Cut circles from the rolled-out pie crust and gently press them into the muffin cups, creating the base for each mini quiche.
- Cook Mushrooms: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add finely chopped mushrooms and cook until browned and moisture evaporates, about 5 minutes.
- Add Arugula: Stir in roughly chopped arugula and cook for an additional 1 minute until wilted, then remove from heat.
- Mix Eggs and Cream: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Assemble Quiches: Evenly divide the mushroom and arugula mixture among the prepared pie crust-lined muffin cups.
- Pour Egg Mixture: Carefully pour the egg and cream mixture over the mushroom and arugula filling in each muffin cup, filling almost to the top.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18–22 minutes until the quiches are set and lightly golden on top.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before gently removing the mini quiches from the pan to serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Substitute spinach for arugula if desired for a milder flavor.
- These quiches freeze well, making them excellent for meal prep and easy reheating.
- Serve with a fresh salad for a complete and balanced meal.
