Food is cutest in mini size: Mini Quiche

ONE-BITE VEGETABLE QUICHE
Adapted from the PerfectPantry.com

Yummy, easy and quick- great combination! Each box of phyllo shells makes 15 miniature quiches, perfect for entertaining. However, the first time I tried my hand at these, my husband and I could not find phyllo shells in the grocery store so I used a two inch biscuit cutter to cut out puff pastry. Each sheet of puff pastry rendered 12 mini shells, two sheets of pastry per box.

1 package mini phyllo shells
1 large egg
1 tsp olive oil
1 Tbsp minced onion or shallot
1 Tbsp minced red bell pepper
1 Tbsp minced zucchini
Pinch of minced fresh thyme
Pinch of minced fresh parsley or chives
Kosher salt and black pepper or piment d'Espelette, to taste

Remove the shells from the package and place on a baking sheet lined with a Silpat or parchment paper.

Preheat oven to 375°F. In a small bowl, whisk the egg and set aside.

In a small nonstick frying pan, heat the oil. Add onion, bell pepper, and zucchini, and sauté for 2 minutes, until the vegetables are slightly cooked. Remove from heat, allow to cool for one minute, stir in the herbs, and add the mixture to the egg. Season with salt and pepper. Fill the shells with the egg mixture. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until egg is set. Serve hot or at room temperature.
