Mini Mushroom and Gruyere Quiches

Make these delightful Mini Mushroom and Gruyere Quiches for your New Year’s brunch. They are small, flavorful, and perfect for a morning celebration. You will love the rich taste of Gruyere cheese paired with earthy mushrooms in a tender crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made pie crust (9-inch size)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Gruyere cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup mini muffin tin.
  2. Roll out the pie crust and use a round cutter (about 3 inches wide) to cut out 12 circles. Gently press each circle into the cups of the muffin tin to form small crusts.
  3. Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and onion. Cook until the mushrooms release their liquid and are soft, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain any excess liquid.
  4. Distribute the cooked mushroom and onion mixture evenly among the 12 crusts in the muffin tin.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  6. Pour the egg mixture over the mushrooms in each crust, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
  7. Sprinkle the grated Gruyere cheese evenly over the top of the quiches.
  8. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the centers are set and the tops are lightly golden brown.
  9. Let the quiches cool in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully removing them to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • You can use pre-sliced mushrooms to save prep time.
  • If you do not have Gruyere, Swiss cheese makes a good substitute.
  • For a brighter flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the egg mixture.
  • These quiches taste great served warm or at room temperature.
