5. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until smooth.

9. Let quiches cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
10. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Vibrant with savory notes, these quiches feature a crisp, buttery crust contrasting the creamy, tangy filling. For a festive touch, garnish with fresh thyme or serve alongside a simple arugula salad drizzled with lemon vinaigrette.
Caramelized Onion and Blue Cheese Mini Quiches
Venture beyond basic quiches with these savory bites that transform simple ingredients into an elegant appetizer. Caramelized onions add sweet depth while blue cheese provides a tangy punch, all encased in a buttery crust. They’re perfect for holiday gatherings or easy entertaining.
Serving: 12 | Pre Time: 25 minutes | Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients
For the caramelized onions:
– 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
– 2 tbsp unsalted butter
– 1 tbsp olive oil
– 1 tsp granulated sugar
– 1/4 tsp salt
For the quiche filling:
– 4 large eggs
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
– 1/4 tsp black pepper
– Pinch of nutmeg
For the crust:
– 1 package (14.1 oz) refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
– Cooking spray
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a 12-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
2. Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat until butter melts.
3. Add sliced onions, sugar, and salt to the skillet. Cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until onions are deep golden brown and reduced by half.
4. While onions cook, unroll pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Use a 3-inch round cutter to cut 12 circles from each crust.
5. Press each crust circle into a prepared muffin cup, ensuring it reaches the bottom and sides.
6. Transfer caramelized onions to a bowl to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
7. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs until fully combined and slightly frothy.
8. Whisk in heavy cream, black pepper, and nutmeg until smooth.
9. Divide cooled caramelized onions evenly among the crust-lined muffin cups.
10. Sprinkle blue cheese crumbles evenly over the onions in each cup.
11. Carefully pour egg mixture into each cup, filling to just below the rim.
12. Bake at 375°F for 20-25 minutes until tops are golden and centers are set (no jiggle when shaken).
13. Let quiches cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Perfectly balanced between creamy and crumbly, these mini quiches offer a rich mouthfeel with contrasting textures. The caramelized onions melt into the custard while blue cheese provides bold pockets of flavor. Serve warm with a drizzle of balsamic reduction or alongside a crisp green salad for a complete appetizer.
