Quiche Cups with Sun-dried Tomatoes, Toasted Pine Nuts and Parmesan
- 12 whole Large Egg Roll Wrappers, Defrosted
- 4 whole Eggs, Room Temperature
- 5 ounces, fluid Milk
- 7 ounces, weight Mild Grated Cheese (i.e. Gouda, Monterey Jack, Swiss, Etc.)
- 7 ounces, weight Herbed Cream Cheese (i.e. Boursin)
- 2 pinches Black Pepper (Use Salt Sparingly, And Only If Your Toppings Aren't Salty)
- 1 bunch Chives, Snipped
- 4 whole Sun-dried Tomatoes, Minced
- 4 Tablespoons Pine Nuts, Toasted
- 2 Tablespoons Grated Parmesan Cheese
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
- Grease a 12-cup muffin pan, or use a nonstick one.
- Take an egg roll wrapper and fold the four corners into the center.
- Place, folded side facing up, into the muffin pan and press it into the shape of the cup.
- Repeat with the remaining wrappers and try to arrange them so that the edges of each wrapper touch each other as little as possible, preferably not at all.
- Make sure that there are no places where the quiche mixture can seep through.
- This will cause the cup to stick and it will tear when you try to remove it after baking.
- Whisk the eggs, milk and cheeses together.
- Season with black pepper.
- Use a ladle to fill the egg roll wrapper cups evenly.
- Stir the mixture well each time so that you get an even amount of cheese and egg/milk.
- There should be approximately 1.6 fl.
- oz.
- (50ml) of quiche filling in each cup.
- Do not let any of the mixture drip down the sides of the wrappers.
- This will also cause sticking and tearing.
- Top the filled cups with extra ingredients.
- I did it in this order: chives, sun-dried tomatoes, toasted pine nuts and finally a small pinch of grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and no longer jiggly.
- Carefully remove the quiche cups from the muffin pan and place on a wire rack to cool.
- Serve at room temperature.
- They are wonderful served with a nice big salad!
