These delicious mini-quiches are both satisfyingly sweet and savory. The nutty Gruyere combined with a hint of smoke and fresh earthy spices are perfectly balanced with the crust made from Gluten Free Ginger Cookies with Sliced Almonds. This recipe is easily doubled to make 36-40 mini quiches or one 9-inch pie (***see baking notes at bottom of recipe for whole pie.). Ingredients:
1 (7 1/4 ounce) package ginger cookies with sliced almonds (pamela's gluten-free brand preferred, we'll use 1/2 the package) |
1/2 tablespoon butter, melted |
2 eggs, slightly beaten |
1/2 cup milk |
2 ounces gruyere cheese, shredded |
1 drop liquid smoke (colgin natural brand is gluten free) |
1/4 cup bell pepper, finely diced (any color) |
1/4 cup yellow onion, finely diced |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1 teaspoon fresh thyme |
1/2 teaspoon fresh tarragon |
1/2 cup turkey bacon (gluten-free, cooked and crumbled) |
Directions:
1. Crush the cookies in food processor or large Ziplock bag, then stir in melted butter.
2. Put 1 teaspoon cookie mixture into 18-22 mini tart or mini muffin cups. Tamp down with thumb or tart press to create a bottom crust.
3. Combine the rest of the ingredients except the turkey bacon.
4. Spoon about 1-2 Tablespoons of the mixture into each mini tart cup.
5. Sprinkle turkey bacon over the tops of each quiche.
6. Cover with foil and bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
7. Remove foil and broil 2-5 minutes or until lightly browned on top.
8. ***To bake a full pie: Cover with foil and bake at 350° for 50-60 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
9. Remove foil and broil 2-5 minutes or until lightly browned on top.
