Easy Mini Quiche Recipe with Pillsbury Pie Crust | Perfect for Meetings!

In summary, the conversation was about a recipe from the Pampered Chef's Seasons Best for Quiche Lorraine Tartlets. The recipe uses mini muffin pans and Pillsbury pie crusts to create mini quiches with bacon, bell pepper, chives, and Swiss cheese. The recipe was featured in the Summer 2009 edition and serves 24. The conversation was looking for the recipe for a meeting the next morning.

I made a recipe from the Seasons Best a few years back (can't remember now what one it was in) and loved it and would love to make it again for a meeting tomorrow morning.

It is using the mini muffin pan and pillsbury pie crusts and you make like a mini quiche. Anyone know the recipe I am talking about??

1. Can I make mini quiches ahead of time and freeze them?

Yes, you can make mini quiches ahead of time and freeze them. After baking, let them cool completely, then place them in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag. When ready to serve, simply reheat in the oven or microwave.

2. Can I use pre-made pie crust for the mini quiche crust?

Yes, you can use pre-made pie crust for the mini quiche crust. Simply roll out the pie crust and cut out circles to fit your mini quiche pan. You can also use pre-made puff pastry for a flakier crust.

3. Can I substitute the cheese in the mini quiche recipe?

Yes, you can substitute the cheese in the mini quiche recipe. You can use any type of cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or feta. You can also omit the cheese for a dairy-free option.

4. Can I use a muffin tin instead of a mini quiche pan?

Yes, you can use a muffin tin instead of a mini quiche pan. However, be sure to grease the muffin tin well and adjust the baking time accordingly. Mini quiche pans are recommended for a more uniform shape and size.

5. Can I add vegetables to the mini quiche recipe?

Yes, you can add vegetables to the mini quiche recipe. Some popular options include spinach, mushrooms, bell peppers, and onions. Be sure to sauté or roast the vegetables before adding them to the quiche to prevent them from releasing too much moisture.
