Miniature Caramelized Onion and Mushroom Quiche- 12/12/08
I actually did not originally intend to make this appetizer to bring to Trung's/Ha's party! But after making the Tuscan Mushrooms, I have so many mushroom's stems left, and I did not want to throw them away, so I decided to bake a quiche where mushrooms is called for in the recipe. So here I am making a miniature caramelized onion and mushroom quiche.

Since all of us are watching our waist, I decided to use Phyllo dough (less carb)as a crust instead of the traditional tart dough.
The quiches turned to be very good! The caramelized onion enhanced the flavor of the quiche.

|
Can't resist...I have to try at least one! |
Preparation work..
|
Slicing the mushrooms into a thin layer |
Onions are sliced and sautéed. |
|
It takes about 10 minutes or so for the onions to caramelized |
Then mushrooms are added |
|
The mixture is done when the mushrooms are soft and they have released all their juices. |
Next, eggs and cream are added. The filling of the quiche is now completed. |
|
I am cutting the Phyllo dough into long strips and then brushed them with melted butter. |
The strips are cut into thirds and then they are inserted to fit my tiny muffin mold. |
|
Filling the Phyllo dough whith the quiche mixture. |
The quiches are going in the oven for about 20 minutes |
|
|
|
Taking them out of the oven. All I need to do is to unmold them and they are ready to be served.
