A lunch time classic made minature, the mini quiche is undoubtedly a favourite for a main or snack.
A food Instagram I follow and admire ran a competition for before and after food photos, asking followers to recreate a recipe from the past to document progress from then until now. I flicked back through my feed and found a photo of a board of mini quiche, dark and blurry and far too close up. So that's the recipe I chose to recreate here. I'll post it on my Instagram feed so you can see the progress!
I know I say it all the time, but this recipe is so easy to make. It's a great meal prep recipe - they keep in the fridge for at least five days so you can enjoy them for lunch at work. Mini quiche is versatile; you are free to be as creative or simple as you please and both will impress. My favourite fillings:
- Spinach, sundried tomato and feta
- Artichoke and blue cheese
- Mushroom, thyme and onion
- Chorizo, olives and red onion
