I'm not a fan of any kind of crust, so when I found a recipe for crustless mini quiches, I knew I had to try it.
The Original Recipe
The recipe called for:
8 eggs
1/4 cup cream
1 10-oz package spinach (thawed, drained and squeezed dry)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup of crumbled feta cheese
I opted to use fresh spinach over the frozen variety.
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425. Mix together eggs, cream, garlic, nutmeg and salt. Add spinach. Grease mini muffin tins. Add about a teaspoon of feta cheese to each cup, and fill with egg/spinach mixture about 2/3 of the way to the top.
The recipe said that it would make 3 1/2 dozen quiches. I got 3 dozen exactly.
Here are my quiches before baking them:
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until set. You may want to finish under the broiler for a bit to brown the tops a little.
I baked mine for about 20 minutes. This is what they looked like:
And after taking them out of the pan:
They tasted good, but had a spongy texture. Maybe because I over-cooked them? I set the timer for 20 minutes because the original recipe said 25-30 minutes, but I think they were done sooner. They reminded me more of a breakfast item than a quiche that I would serve at a cocktail party. The miniature quiches you can buy in the freezer section at Costco are ten times better!
Bottom Line: NOT WORTH IT
