Easy Caramelized Onion and Mushroom Quiche Bites
Equipment
- 1 muffin tin
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 ½ cups diced mushrooms
- ½ tsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
- ⅓ cup shredded sharp white cheddar cheese, or other preferred cheese
- 4 eggs
- ⅔ cup milk, or cream
- ½ tsp salt, or more to taste
- ⅛ tsp pepper, or more to taste
Instructions
- Melt 1 tbsp of butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, and once melted, add the onions, stirring well. Allow the onions to cook, stirring often to prevent burning. Remove from heat after about 15-20 minutes once the onions have begun to caramelize and brown.
- Using a rolling pin, roll out the sheet of puff pastry slightly. Slice into 9 equal square pieces. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- In a medium bowl, combine the caramelized onions, chopped mushrooms, thyme and shredded cheese, mixing well. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper.
- Lightly grease the muffin tin, then press the puff pastry squares into the tin. Fill each of the pastry cups about three-quarters full with the onion and mushroom mixture. Pour the egg mixture in until it reaches the top of the filling.
- Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the puff pastry turns golden brown and the eggs are cooked through in the center.
- Serve immediately, or store the extras in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. You can reheat them in the oven or air fryer!
