I used to have a catering company in Mexico. One of the most popular breakfast items was my mini-quiches. They were flakey, butter little egg pies, but ... in the best possible way. When I lost "pie dough" from my life, I quickly started to look for a solution. As per usual, I turned to Kevinpa, who always had a tasty solution. He has several pie crusts, but none really stacked up to the flavor I was looking for.
Then, I found a somewhat strange recipe for "BBQ Beef Cups". Here, he basically uses biscuit dough, then bakes BBQ Beef into the biscuit, pressed into a muffin pan. THIS looked interesting ...
So, I made the dough, rolled it out a bit thinner than the way I believed Kevin had been ... greased my pan, laid the dough into the pan and added my quiche fillings. Bake and eat! They were just a bit sweet for my tastes, but I know the sweetener is there to help mask the slight twang that comes with Carbquik. So, my version has a bit less sweetener. Instead, I started adding fresh herbs and spices directly into the dough. This really helps!
These little mini quiches are fantastic (but a bit messy and sticky to make ... you'll see!) ;) |
