Mini Asparagus Tomato Quiche
Makes six 4-inch quiches
Ingredients:
- Refrigerated double pie crust
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 large eggs
3/4 cup half-and-half
1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ tsp ground mustard
Salt & freshly ground pepper
- ½ cup swiss cheese, grated
- 24 fresh asparagus spears, tops trimmed off to 1 1/2 inches long
- 3 cherry tomatoes, halved
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cut out rounds of pie crust using a 5-inch bowl as a template. Press pie crust into 4-inch tart pans; trim off edges with a sharp knife. Prick the crust bottoms.
2. Whisk together the eggs and half-and-half. Add flour. Season with paprika, ground mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
3. Sprinkle the grated Swiss cheese into the baked shells. Ladle the mixture into the baked tartlet shells filling them ¾ full. Arrange four asparagus spears, spoke fashion, on top. Place a tomato half in between the asparagus spears.
