Instructions
Preparation
- 1Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin.
- 2Cook the bacon lardons in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on a paper towel and set aside.
- 3Roll 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
- 1In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (or cream), salt, and pepper until well combined.
- 2Divide the cooked bacon lardons and shredded Gruyère cheese among the puff pastry cups.
- 3Carefully pour the egg mixture into each pastry cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
- 4Bake 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
- 1Remove 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.
- 2Garnish 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.
