Mexican-Mini-Quiche-3

Cajun Tortilla Mini Quiches

Circles of tortilla replace the pastry in these easy to make mini quiches flavoured with cajun spices, red pepper, red onion and sweetcorn.
Active Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 25 mini quiches

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 egg yolks
  • 120 ml creme fraiche
  • 1 tbsp cajun spice mix - I used Schwartz
  • 4 flour tortillas
  • ½ red onion
  • 1 red pepper
  • 4 tbsp sweetcorn - heaped

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat your oven to 180C/160C fan.
  • Finely chop the red onion (½ onion) and red pepper (1 pepper) and mix it together with the sweetcorn (4 heaped tbsp).
  • In a separate bowl mix together the 4 egg yolks, creme fraiche (120ml) and cajun spice mix (1 tbsp).
  • Using a round cutter (I used one with 7cm diameter) cut 24 circles from the tortillas.
  • Put the tortilla circles into each hole of a tart tin.
  • Add a tsp of the vegetable mix into each hole. Use your fingers to push the tortilla down into the tin - it's much easier to do this once you've added the filling as the weight of the veg helps to keep it in place. If you try and push it in before adding any filling you'll find that it pops back up again.
  • Add 1-2 tsp of the egg mixture into each quiche.
  • Put the quiches into the oven for 13 minutes (until the egg mixture has just set).
  • Remove the quiches from the oven and move them onto a wire rack to cool.
  • Enjoy

NOTES

These are best eaten fresh as the filling does make the tortilla case a little soft if they're stored (although they still taste really good :-) ).
