Ingredients

Einkorn crust

  • 1 1/4 cups all purpose einkorn flour
  • 6 tablespoons cold salted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoon ice water

Quiche

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup add-ins optional

Instructions

  • Start the add-ins (optional) like crispy potatoes or roasted red peppers.
  • Preheat the oven to 375.

Make The Crust

  • To a large bowl, add flour, salt, and butter.
  • Work in the flour with a fork until everything is combined and the butter flour mixture is in pea-sized pieces.
  • Add ice water and mix with hands until just combined, then form into a ball. Set aside.

Create the Custard Filling

  • To a large bowl, add eggs, cream, milk, salt and shredded cheese.
  • Whisk together until a smooth custard forms.
  • Add any mix-ins you would like (optional) and stir well.
  • Grease each muffin tin with coconut oil or avocado oil.
  • Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface until about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Use a biscuit cutter or mason jar to cut out each quiche crust.

Put The Mini Quiche Together

  • Place each cut out dough on a floured surface and roll out slightly larger until it is about 1/8 inch in thickness.
  • Place each pie crust into the greased muffin tin, pressing down to make sure it is in the bottom well.
  • Pour a little bit of filling into each one, reaching about 3/4 full.
  • Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes. The crust should start to golden around the edges when done.
  • Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For this recipe, I use my homemade einkorn crust. If you don’t have einkorn flour, you can substitute it for your favorite pie crust recipe. If you are really pinched for time, you could use a store-bought crust. Pie crust is really simple to make, though!
  • To make this recipe gluten free, use a gluten free pie crust.
  • Fill the mini quiche 3/4 full to help prevent spill over.
