- Mushrooms (8-10 small to medium)
- Onion (half)
- 3 eggs (beaten)
- Milk (3/4 cup)
- Olive Oil (1-2 tbsp)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Add chopped yam, onions, mushrooms and olive oil to a skillet and cook until tender and golden brown. Let cool and add to pie shell. Combine eggs and milk, then pour into pie shell. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
Quiche Crust Tip:
If you want to prevent your crust edge from burning, try wetting your finger and running it along the crust edge before putting your quiche in the oven. You don't want to soak your crust but a little extra moisture will prevent that delicate edge from burning.

Video: How To Make Mini Quiches - Recipe by Diane Denny, Jacksonville FL
These mini quiches are quick and easy to make. This "Mini Quiches To Go" recipe uses spinach, onion, mozzarella cheese with a garlic Crescent dinner roll pastry crust.
**Update May 28, 2012: I made these for brunch yesterday and they were fantastic! I give them 5 stars and will definitely make them again. They were so delicious and creamy! For brunch I served three per person with strips of bacon and fresh pineapple, but they would also make great appetizers.
Ingredients:
2 cans of garlic dinner crescent rolls, 8 triangles each (if you can't find garlic rolls, just use the plain ones and add a little garlic powder to the filling)
1 package of softened cream cheese, 8oz
3 eggs
1/4 cup of chopped onion
1 box, 9oz, of frozen spinach, thawed and drained (squeeze out the water)
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
What To Serve With Quiche
Side dishes for quiche
If you're wondering what to serve with quiche, rest assured there are a great many possibilities to compliment your dish.
Breakfast or Brunch
Pair your quiche with a fruit salad. Depending on what is available and in season you may choose a citrus fruit salad with strips of juicy orange and tangy grapefruit, or perhaps fresh strawberries, raspberries and grapes, or an assortment of melon balls. Any type of fruit salad will add a splash of color and be a welcomed accompaniment to your quiche.
If you want to go with a fruit theme but don't necessarily want a fruit salad, then try a fruit salsa.
Links of sausage or strips of crispy bacon are also wonderful beside quiche.
Lunch or Dinner
Quiche goes very well with a crisp salad. This can be a leafy green salad, a tomato salad, cole slaw or even a beet salad with chunks of goat cheese and a balsamic vinigrette dressing.
If you like the idea of vegetables but don't necessarily want a salad, try veggie sticks with ranch dressing. You can also have a side of steamed vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower and carrots.
Soup is a very nice side dish for quiche. Try to match or compliment the ingredients. If you have mushrooms in your quiche, then cream of mushroom will suit very nicely. In the summer months pair your quiche with gazpacho.
Garlic bread goes very well with quiche and a green salad, especially if you have chosen to make a crustless quiche.
Pasta salad is another option to pair with a crustless quiche. Try making one with orzo, bow tie or spiral noodles.
This five star gazpacho recipe is super quick (20 minutes!) and will compliment any summer quiche recipe.
