This weekend was my soon to be sister-in-law's high-tea themed bridal shower. Along with a delish array of scones, jams, finger sammys, cupcakes and other goodies - I wanted to toss a little savory into the mix so I decided to bring along some homemade mini quiche babies for the soiree. They were a huge hit and surprisingly (as this was the first time i had ever made quiche) very easy to make! The great thing about quiche is you can pretty much toss just about anything in there. With a countless number of varieties and the ability to make-ahead and reheat - these love bites make the perfect hor'derve for any day-time event. With two varieties (one meat and one veg) today I decided to share the recipe for my broccoli, ham, onion and cheddar delights.
Ingredients: (makes about 4 dozen)
1 bundle of fresh broccoli
1/2 large onion (finely chopped)
3 heaping cups of ham (chopped into small cubes)
3 heaping cups of grated aged cheddar (via The Village Cheesemonger of course)
6 eggs
2 cups cream
salt and pepper
1 tbsp butter
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. In a pot on the stove, steam the broccoli and then chop finely. Place in a large bowl to cool. Next, over medium high heat, melt the butter and then add the chopped onions. Cook for 4-5 minutes until soft. Add the onions, chopped ham and cheese to the broccoli, season with some salt and pepper and stir to combine. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream and then season with salt and pepper. Combine the egg mixture with the broccoli mix and stir everything together. In a non-stick mini muffin tray, spoon out the quiche mix into the cups filling them up right to the top! Bake in the oven for 15-17 minutes - until the middle sets.
Serve warm and enjoy!
