    Why You're Going To Love This Recipe

    These Mini Quiche Lorraines couldn't be easier to make!

    • Simple! - a great one for the kids to try - with only 6 basic ingredients, they are super simple to make. Have a look in your fridge and pantry - there's a good chance you might already have everything you need.
    • Freezer-friendly - these quiches are perfect to prepare and cook ahead of time and then freeze for up to 2 months. They defrost perfectly and can be reheated in just a few minutes.
    • Budget friendly - made with staple ingredients, this makes a large-sized batch of 24 mini quiches.

    What You Need

    These crispy savoury mini quiches are always a popular treat!

    • puff pastry - puff pastry is a light, flaky pastry, and can be used for both sweet and savoury recipes. It is easy to make from scratch, but ready-rolled sheets that are available in the freezer section of your supermarket are a convenient and time-saving option (and taste just as good!)
    • olive oil
    • bacon - there are a few different types of bacon cuts available in Australia. I have used mid rasher bacon in this recipe, but whatever cut you prefer will be perfectly fine to use!
    • eggs - when using eggs in this recipe, it is best to have them at room temperature before you start.
    • milk - I like to use full-fat or full-cream milk in all my recipes.
    • cheese - one of the most commonly bought blocks of cheese is "Tasty" cheese. This is an aged cheddar cheese, which is perfect as an everyday cheese and as an ingredient in these quiches.

    Step By Step Instructions

    Mini Quiche Lorraine are simple to make and you'll have a batch whipped up in no time at all!

    Note: Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for the ingredients quantities and full detailed method

    Step 1 - Prepare The Pastry Cases

    Preheat the oven to 200 degrees celsius (fan forced) and lightly grease a mini muffin tray.

    Cut round holes, using a pastry cutter, from each of the puff pastry sheets.

    Expert Tips And FAQ

    Can I use ham instead of bacon?

    Yes, you can substitute ham. It doesn't need to be cooked, so you would simply skip the step of cooking the bacon in the recipe.

    Are there any other flavourings you can add?

    You could experiment with mixed herbs, any seasoning blend you enjoy (eg Mexican, Italian, Cajun) or some seeded mustard mixed in with the eggs and milk. Add some baby spinach leaves or sun-dried tomatoes too.

    Can I make and use homemade puff pastry?

    Making your own puff pastry is certainly an option but time consuming! You could use a recipe out of a cookbook or check this one out - Homemade Puff Pastry

    What temperature do I use for a conventional oven?

    I specify fan-forced oven temperatures in my recipes, so if you have a conventional oven, increase the temperature by between 10 and 20 degrees Celsius, and monitor your baking regularly during the cooking time.

    Are the Mini Quiche Lorraines suitable to freeze?

    They are perfect to freeze, and can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 2 months.

      A very tasty recipe. I add some chopped up mushrooms and spring onions to the cooked bacon. I’m making these again and will be adding a dash a cayenne pepper.
