Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Pie crust dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 200 grams Small shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 large Eggs
- 120 ml Heavy cream
- 60 ml Milk
- 100 grams Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely sliced
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Cooking spray or unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
Roll out the pie crust dough on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Using a round cutter (approximately 3-4 inches in diameter), cut out 12 circles of dough.
Press each dough circle into the muffin tin cups to form small crusts, ensuring they come up the sides of each cup. Trim any excess dough if necessary.
In a skillet over medium heat, lightly cook the shrimp for 1-2 minutes per side, just until they turn pink. Do not overcook as they will cook further in the oven. Set aside to cool slightly, then chop into small pieces.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until well combined. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, salt, and black pepper.
Divide the chopped shrimp evenly among the prepared crusts in the muffin tin.
Pour the egg mixture over the shrimp, filling each crust about 3/4 full to allow for expansion as it bakes.
Sprinkle a pinch of paprika on top of each quiche if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the quiches are set in the center and the crusts are lightly golden.
Allow the quiches to cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them with a butter knife or small spatula.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These can also be refrigerated and reheated later!
