Mini Tortilla Quiches offer a delicious twist on traditional quiches, making them a great choice for your next event. Ideal as a brunch dish, appetiser, or light snack, these quiches boast a crispy tortilla base topped with gooey mozzarella, juicy cherry tomatoes, and vibrant broccolini. Their convenient, bite-sized format helps you impress guests with both flavour and presentation.
Simple and Quick Preparation
Preparing these mini quiches is straightforward and fast. Start by cutting tortillas into circles
and pressing them into a greased muffin tin to create individual cups.
Fill each cup with shredded mozzarella, halved cherry tomatoes, and trimmed broccolini.
Next, pour a rich egg mixture seasoned with chives, salt, and pepper over the filling.
Bake the quiches until the egg sets and the tops turn golden brown. They come together quickly, making them a perfect option for busy days.
Customisable and Versatile
These mini quiches adapt easily to various dietary needs. For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free tortillas. Opt for low-fat cheese to cut calories, or replace the cheese and milk with plant-based alternatives like almond milk and dairy-free cheese to make the quiches dairy-free. Experiment with other vegetables, such as bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms, to suit your taste preferences or use what you have on hand.
Perfect Pairings
Pair these mini quiches with a fresh salad or include them in a larger brunch spread. They go well with various dipping sauces or can be enjoyed on their own.
