Ingredients
- ½ package refrigerated pie crust or homemade
- 3 eggs
- 2 tablespoons half and half
- ⅓ cup chopped baby arugula
- ⅓ cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 3 tablespoons cooked crumbled prosciutto*
- ⅛ teaspoon coarse salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F.
- On a clean, flat surface, roll out the pie crust. Using a 2½-inch square cutter (or a knife), cut out 12 squares from the dough. Re-roll the scraps if needed to make all 12 pieces. Gently press each square into the bottom and up the sides of 12 tartlet pans.
- Prick the bottom of each tartlet crust with a fork, then bake for about 10 minutes or until the edges begin to turn golden.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and half and half. Stir in the arugula, cheese, prosciutto, salt, and pepper until evenly combined.
- Pour the egg mixture into each tartlet shell, filling them evenly.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the centers puff up and feel slightly firm to the touch.
- Allow the quiches to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
*To cook prosciutto until crispy, simply place the slices of prosciutto in a dry frying pan over medium heat, cooking for two to three minutes on each side until they turn golden and crisp.
