Best Tuna Mini Quiches Recipes

TUNA MINI QUICHES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Spray 24 mini muffin cups with cooking spray.
• Make the crust by mixing the Bisquick and butter in a small bowl. Add boiling water, stirring quickly until soft dough forms.
• Make teaspoon sized balls of dough and press into the muffin cups, forming a little pie crust up the sides and on the bottom.
• Divide the tuna evenly among the muffin cups.
• Beat the milk, butter and egg in a small bowl. Stir in the chives and salt. Spoon 1 1/2 teaspoons of the egg mixture into each muffin cup. Sprinkle cheese on top.
• Bake 20 minutes or until edges are brown and centers are cooked.

MINI QUICHE 4 WAYS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 12x18-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place tart shells on the prepared baking sheet and prick the sides and bottoms with a fork.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. The partial cook will help keep the pastry crispy on the bottom. Allow shells to cool slightly, in the pan, about 10 minutes.
• To make the mini-quiches: when shells are cooled but still warm, place 1 tablespoon Cheddar cheese in the bottom of 8 of the partially-baked tart shells. To 4 of the Cheddar-filled shells, add 1/2 piece of bacon, crumbled, and 1 tablespoon bell pepper. To the remaining 4 Cheddar-filled shells, add 1 tablespoon diced ham, 1 tablespoon broccoli, and 1/8 teaspoon thyme.
• Place 1 tablespoon Gruyere on the bottom of remaining partially-baked tart shells. To each of 4 of the Gruyere-filled shells, add 1 tablespoon cooked onion, 1 tablespoon of cooked, minced mushrooms, and 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder. To each of the remaining Gruyere-filled shells, add 1/4 of the diced prosciutto, 1 tablespoon cooked spinach, 1/8 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend, and a pinch of nutmeg, if using, to taste.
• Briskly stir eggs together with cream, salt, and pepper in a medium mixing bowl. Pour 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of the egg mixture into each of the 16 filled shells.
• Top the bacon/bell pepper mini quiches with a cherry tomato half. Top the ham/broccoli mini quiches with 1 teaspoon diced red onion. Top the onion/mushroom mini quiches with 1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley, and top the prosciutto/spinach mini quiches with 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh basil.
• Place mini quiches in the oven, and reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake until the egg mixture is set and the crust is lightly browned, 30 to 35 minutes. Allow to cool on a rack, about 10 minutes. Serve warm.

MOM'S TUNA QUICHE

Steps:

• 1. Wash and chop mushrooms or use pre-sliced. Sautee in butter until moisture is removed.
• 2. While mushrooms are cooking, chop scallions, grate cheese and drain tuna
• 3. Place one (uncooked) pie crust in a deep-dish pie plate. Top with tuna, cheese, sautéed mushrooms and scallions.
• 4. Beat together eggs, milk and seasonings and pour on top of tuna mixture. (You can add a sprinkle more of cheese on top if you like.) Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. You can protect the crust edges with foil, but I have found that I don't need to. Let cool 10 minutes before cutting.
