Ingredients

  • 1 pc puff pastry(sheet, thawed)
  • 4oz bacon lardons(or diced bacon)
  • 2 pcs eggs(large)
  • 4 fl oz milk(whole milk or cream)
  • 2oz gruyère cheese(shredded)
  • 1 tbsp chives(fresh, finely chopped)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper(freshly ground)

Instructions

Preparation

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin.
  2. Cook the bacon lardons in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on a paper towel and set aside.
  3. Roll out the puff pastry sheet slightly and use a 6 cm (2.5 inch) round cutter to cut out rounds. Place each round into the mini muffin tin cups, gently pressing to form a cup.

Assembly and Baking

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (or cream), salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Divide the cooked bacon lardons and shredded Gruyère cheese among the puff pastry cups.
  3. Carefully pour the egg mixture into each pastry cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is set and lightly puffed. The center should not be liquid.

Finishing

  1. Remove the mini quiches from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack.
  2. Garnish with fresh chives before serving warm or at room temperature.

Tips

  • Ensure puff pastry is properly thawed but still cold enough to handle easily.
  • Don't overfill the pastry cups, as the egg mixture will puff up during baking.
  • These bites can be made ahead and gently reheated in the oven.
