Chicken Mini Quiche

The Ingredients

Dough Ingredients:

  • 250g all-purpose flour
  • 125g Bakers Choice (soft and cold from the fridge)
  • 1 cup cold iced water
  • 1 cup uncooked beans (used as weights for baking)

Filling Ingredients:

  • 250g chicken breast, cut into cubes
  • 50g Bakers Choice
  • 1/2 of each red, green, and yellow bell pepper (diced)
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
  • Salt, pepper, paprika, and oregano to taste
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup liquid cheese
  • 25g feta cheese
  • Medium-sized tart pans with removable bases

How to prepare

  1. In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and Bakers Choice, then rub with the fingertips until the texture becomes smooth and sandy, resembling breadcrumbs.
  2. Gradually add the cold water and gently mix the ingredients without overworking them until a dough forms.
  3. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour.
  4. After chilling, roll out the dough with a rolling pin on a floured surface, then transfer it to the tart pans, pressing gently to take the shape of the pan.
  5. Place a sheet of parchment paper over the dough, then fill the pans with dry beans to maintain the shape while baking.
  6. Bake the dough in a preheated oven at 300°C (without fan) for 15 minutes until the edges are slightly golden.

For the filling:

  1. In a pan over heat, melt the Bakers Choice, then add the onion and diced chicken, stirring until the color changes.
  2. Add the bell peppers and spices, and stir well until the ingredients are cooked through, then set the mixture aside to cool.
  3. In another bowl, mix the milk with the egg, salt, pepper, and liquid cheese, then pour it over the chicken mixture.
  4. Distribute the mixture evenly in the tart pans, then top with feta cheese and bake in a hot oven for 10 minutes until the filling sets.
