Mini Quiche
If you make your own Mørdej (shortcrust or pie/tart dough), typically you’ll have a little left-over dough. What I do with that dough, is rolling it out to a thin round disc, store it in the refrigerator or freezer, until ready to use. If frozen, let them thaw in the refrigerator. Then make these wonderful little Mini Quiches. They are super tasty, can be served as appetizers, breakfast or as a side dish. You can go crazy adding pretty much whatever ingredients you like, or you can make them pretty basic, as I did here. I any case, they are delicious and make great use of that left-over dough.
Making mini quiche
Ingredients: (make a many or as few as you like)
frozen dough, thawed
egg, 1 per tart
chives
a sprinkle of salt
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter tart shells (3 1/2 inch or 9 cm) thoroughly with butter. If dough is not already rolled out, roll a small amount of dough into a thin 5 1/2 inch circle (14 cm). Fit dough inside tart shell. Line with tinfoil and beans or pie weights to prevent dough from bubbling up. Pre-bake shells in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove shells from oven, take off foil and pie weights and let rest while eggs are prepared.
Use 1 egg for each shell. Beat each egg with a fork. Add chives and sprinkle a little salt. Pour 1 prepared egg into each shell. Place shells onto a baking sheet and bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until center is set. Enjoy!
