I Love Pies! Small and large, closed and opened, with fish and hm less meat, whether it’s cabbage pie or raspberry tartlet. So, it was that day when I couldn’t decide what filling to choose and made 4 different savory quiches! Beautiful and delicious! 🙂 It’s a quick (especially if you prepared the pastry ahead as I did), easy and tasty way of using up all those small cheese pieces and veggies leftovers.
Small quiches: 4 fillings
Pastry
160g/5.6oz all-purpose/plain flour
120g/4.2oz butter, cold and cut into cubes
a good pinch of ground sea salt
40-50ml iced-cold water
Put flour, salt and butter in a big bowl. Quickly rub ingredients together until coarse breadcrumbs (or use food processor). Add water and mix until the dough is formed. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or overnight. You can keep the pastry in a fridge up to 3 days.
Roll out 3-4mm thick dough to fit your baking tins. Bake blind in 180C preheated oven for 15-20 minutes.
Filling
2 large eggs
100-150ml 30% cream (or double cream)
freshly ground sea salt and black-white pepper, to taste
- Broccoli+Gruyère cheese
- Leek (slightly sautéed in butter)+Cheddar
- Zucchini (raw, sliced or grated)+Thyme(fresh or dried)+Parmesan
- Sun dried tomato (chopped)+Olives+Basil (fresh or dried)+Pecorino Romano cheese
Whisk eggs with cream and season to taste. Arrange vegetables, grated cheese and herbs in pastry cases. Pour the egg mixture over veggies. Bake in 180C preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the filling is set.
Enjoy!

I love quiches and yours look very tasty.
Me too, I make them pretty often. What’s your fav filling?:)
I like salmon and veggie quiches, they taste like heaven
Oh yes! Salmon tarts are always so good, and it’s not easy to stop eating them 😀
Hard to choose which I like more. Each is more mouthwatering than the next, and so pretty! 🙂
Thanks so much, Ronit! 🙂
Love the wonderful varieties!
It’s great when you can taste all of them, isn’t it? 😀
These all look so yummy!
Thanks a lot for your comment! 🙂
These are all so beautiful! I especially love how the zucchini quiche looks!
Agree, it looks so pretty! 🙂 like a flower
Gorgeous little quiches! They must taste delicious! 🙂
Thanks Linda! And yes- they were so tasty and gone so fast! 🙂
The quiche are just beautiful, I love making little pies or quiche or tarts of all sorts. They sound delicious too!
Thank you so much! Sometimes it seem to me that little pies even taste better.. 😀
It’s no wonder you couldn’t commit to one particular filling! Those are wonderful flavor combinations! What size tart pans did you use?
Hello there! Sorry for the late reply, I used 12cm pans, but you can use anyone that you have-just add more or less filling. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
All of your quiches look fabulous! Yum!
Thanks! 🙂
I really love this idea! I’m keeping on hand for next time I host a brunch 🙂 The sky is the limit with flavor combinations and I like the ones you chose!
You can cut them into little slices, so your guests can try each and all. 🙂
Beautiful! If I’d made these, the pies wouldn’t have come out of the pie tins without breaking…
My pastry turns out too short and fragile sometimes as well, try to add more flour and use cold butter. 🙂
What a great idea to prepare a variety of fillings for the quiche! I love how densely and prettily packed the zucchini quiche is… ah they all look pretty! And they all sound delicious! 🙂
Thanks a lot for your sweet comment! Zucchini and leek tarts look gorgeous. 🙂 I also love chicken with broccoli filling (it’s not on the pic this time) nomnom 🙂
How beautiful! I made a quiche back in the early fall, but I’ll have to do it again! I love the variety here. Delish!!
You can also make a double quantity of the pastry and use it lately 😉
Mila, I love these little quiches. Such a great idea. I’m definitely coming back to this for a special breakfast. Love.
Or dinner with some green leaves on side. 🙂
Hard to choose .. they all look so good ! 🙂
Very kind of you! Happy cooking! 🙂

Quiche has always been my favorite to make, and my absolute favorite is spinach and feta. 🙂 Good job on this post.
