BETH'S MINI QUICHE RECIPE
Makes 8
4"-Mini Quiche (Print recipe here: entertainingwi...
For Crust:
2 ½ cups (300g) flour
½ tsp (2.5ml) salt
1 cup (240g) of butter, diced
2 egg yolks
¼ cup (60ml) ice water
For Egg Custard:
8 eggs
1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon (7 g) of cornstarch for lining pastry shells before filling with custard
For Fillings:
Leek and Swiss (makes 2)
1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
1 leek, sliced into thin circles
2 tablespoons (30ml) Swiss Cheese
Salmon, Goat Cheese Dill (Makes 2)
2 tablespoons (30ml) crumbled goat cheese
2 tablespoons (30ml) shredded smoked salmon
2 tablespoons (30ml) fresh dill, minced
Spinach and Feta (Makes 2)
2 tablespoons (30ml) feta cheese
2 tablespoons (30ml) thawed frozen spinach
2 tsp (10ml) fresh Italian parsley
Tomato, Pesto Mozzarella (Makes 2)
2 tablespoons (30 ml) mozzarella cheese
2 cherry tomatoes, sliced into 4-5 wheels each
1 tsp (10 ml) pesto
METHOD:
Add flour and salt to a food processor and pulse. Then add the butter, a little at a time, pulsing until a coarse meal forms.
Then measure out the water, add ice cubes to it. Then pour this water into another Pyrex pitcher, straining the ice. This will give you very cold water. Add the egg yolks and whisk to combine. Then slowly add the yolk mixture to the food processor pulsing all the while until the dough forms into a ball.
Transfer to a floured surface, press down into a disc and wrap in wax paper. Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, or overnight.
Roll out dough on a floured surface, to ¼ “ (6mm) thickness. Place tins upside down on the dough and cut out a circle about 1 inch (2.5 cm) larger than tin. Fit dough into the tin, pressing it down, and then pushing dough past the fluting to rip off naturally. Continue to fit the dough in tins, then trim edges with a sharp knife. Repeat the process until all tins are prepped with the dough. Place tins on a baking sheet and place in the freezer for 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350F (175C).
Meanwhile, mix together the egg filling. In a medium-size bowl or a Pyrex pitcher crack in 8 eggs and beat together. Then add the heavy cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Slice the leeks, white parts only, into circles. Sautee in olive oil until fragrant and crispy. Allow to cool.
Then prepare all the fillings and have everything measured out and ready to go.
Remove Quiche tin from the freezer and sprinkle a little of the cornstarch in the bottom of each pastry shell and brush to distribute with a pastry brush.
For each pastry add the cheese first. On the bottom.
Add the custard to each pastry shell with a Turkey Baster. Allows for excellent filling precision! Only fill ¾ of the way full. Top with the various fillings.
Bake at 350F (175C) for 30 minutes then increase to 375F (190C) and bake for 5-7 minutes until the pastry is golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly. Remove from tins and serve immediately or. Place cooled quiche on a baking sheet, cover loosely with foil. Pop in the fridge. And then reheat when ready to serve at 350F (175C) for 15 minutes.
To serve place quiche across 2 square plates with a little pound of parsley, microgreens or watercress in the center of a plate.

Hi guys. This is the last video I had shot before the quarantine started. Which is why I appear a little clueless to current events! Who knew what was coming :( Anyway, I hope everyone has a lovely Easter in any way possible. Luckily this recipe uses a lot of basic staples and really the fillings can be whatever you have on hand :) I'm not sure when I'll be able to upload again (since I have a crew come in to my house to shoot my videos) and right now all of California is on lockdown until mid-May. But do know I'm thinking of you all and missing you, and hoping everyone is staying safe and healthy during these strange days! But in the meantime, I put together a little playlist of recipes that would be fun to try during the lockdown. Easy dinners with basic ingredients, some that take more time and will help pass the hours, or baking projects to help hone your skills. I hope to be back with you all very soon! Keep safe! xoxo Here's the playlist! PS: If you try one recipe from this playlist make it the No-Knead Raisin Bread! So easy and SO good! kzbin.info/aero/PLA8NZSto-k4O30rG9HrfqPGyL1w2JEsN9

[@kimberlyjackson8064]

Your eye for beauty is special. I have long admired your 2 pedastal white glass holders that you use in multiple ways on your table. They were probably a wedding gift, but was wondering if those are still available? I have purchased off of your Amazon shop, but don't see them there. Thanks again for your beautiful website, videos and thanks for your warm and friendly approach to making delicious and beautiful meals and menus for all of us. Just love you!!

I learned a trick from Chef Michael Smith to freeze butter then shred it on the large holes of a box grater. This way, the butter is cut into small.pieces and needs only minimal effort to fully incorporate into the flour.

[@chaayahyasharahla8444]

Yummy

[@msr1116]

Maybe the unbaked shells could be brushed with oil, instead of the cornstarch, to act as "waterproofing" . Since turkey basters are (I think) such a peculiarly American kitchen tool, any plastic squeeze bottle can sub for it. I have a squeezable pancake batter dispenser bottle with an opening big enough for the eggy liquid and its little spout top is reclosable too.

Hi Beth, you always have the best recipes. I do have a question though. I always use the frozen spinach but my dad doesn't care too much for the frozen, so this time I bought the spinach that comes in a bag. Can you please tell me the best way to do it? Does it have to be cooked first, do I just put it on the bottom of the pie crust, not too sure what is the best way?

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Ah yes, no need to cook it (the oven will take care of that!) Just chopp it up a bit and then line the bottom of the crust as you saw me do with the frozen. No prob at all! Hope you enjoy!! :)
