High Tea Saturday Part 2: Tomato Basil Mushroom Quiches

Sorry for the delayed post folks! Part 2 of our High Tea Saturday Adventure, consisted of some delicious Quiches! Quiche is one of those recipes that are made differently by everyone and differently every time it is made. The great thing about quiche is that it's so versatile and customizable! You can put practically anything you want in it. In our version of Quiche, we added tomatoes, mushrooms and some fresh basil.

Tomato, Basil and Mushroom Quiche
Ingredients:
Phyllo pastry
Tomatoes
Mushrooms
Basil
Eggs
Seasoning

Procedure:
  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Cut your phyllo pastry into little squares and place over each well in your muffin tin. Make sure the squares of phyllo are big enough that they hang a little past the edges of the wells in the muffin tin.
  3. Prep and chop your tomatoes, mushrooms and basil into bite sized pieces.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat your eggs and add in your tomatoes, mushrooms and basil and your seasoning of choice to taste. For seasoning, we used salt, pepper, garlic powder and oregano and thyme.
  5. Carefully pour your filling into each phyllo pastry cup.
  6. Bake at 350F for 25-30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
It is important to note that the reason why we didn't specify any exact measurements is because the amount of ingredients you use will depend on how many quiches you want to make, so we recommend just eyeballing the amount of ingredients you want to use. We made about a dozen mini quiches that day. Additionally, you can put almost anything in your quiches! We recommend getting creative! Suggestions could be some cheddar cheese (or any cheese of choice), bacon, pepper, garlic etc. The sky's the limit with Quiche!
