Quiche Cups a la "Queen"
Ingredients
- 2 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen puff pastry shells, thawed
- 6 large eggs, divided
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh chives
- 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp. each: salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1-1/4 cups (5 oz.) Sargento® Artisan Blends® Shredded Swiss Cheese, divided
- 2 cups (8 oz.) Sargento® Limited Edition Shredded New York Sharp White Cheddar Cheese or Sargento® Artisan Blends® Shredded Double Cheddar Cheese, divided
- 1 Tbsp. butter
Directions
- Place pastry shells on a cookie or baking sheet, "tops" up. Separate one of the eggs. Beat egg yolk and brush over tops. Bake in preheated 400°F oven 20 to 24 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes. Remove "tops"; reserve for garnish. Pull out soft pastry from shells.
- In a large bowl, beat together eggs, egg white, cream, chives, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add egg mixture; cook, stirring frequently, until eggs are soft set. Combine 1/4 cup Swiss and 1 cup Cheddar in a medium bowl; set aside. Stir remaining Swiss and Cheddar into egg mixture; cook, stirring constantly, just until the cheese melts.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon reserved cheese mixture in bottom of each shell. Fill with egg mixture; top with remaining cheese mixture. Return to oven; bake 3 to 5 minutes or until cheese is melted . Garnish with "tops."
