🛒 Ingredients
🍳 Preparation Steps
  1. 1

    Roll out the shortcrust pastry on a floured surface. Cut out circles with a cutter or glass and place them in tartlet molds. Prick the bottom with a fork.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the heavy cream in a thin stream while continuing to whisk to obtain a smooth mixture.

  3. 3

    Incorporate the grated cheese into the mixture and mix to distribute it evenly.

  4. 4

    Chop the chives and add them to the mixture with salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

  5. 5

    Divide the mixture among the pastry bases, without overflowing. Smooth the surface.

  6. 6

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the molds on a hot baking sheet and bake for 25 min until golden and puffed up.

  7. 7

    Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before unmolding. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips & Tricks
  • For an even crispier tart base, brush the pastry bases with a little egg white before filling them.
  • Serve these mini quiches with a green salad dressed with a light vinaigrette for a complete and balanced meal.
  • Variations: replace chives with parsley or thyme, or add bacon, ham or sautéed vegetables for different versions.
