Recipe ingredients
- 4 sheets phyllo dough
- 75 mL (1/3 cup) melted butter*
- 250 mL (1 cup) sliced mushrooms
- 60 mL (1/4 cup) chopped red onion
- 125 mL (1/2 cup) diced zucchini
- 1 Italian tomato, seeded and diced
- 125 mL (1/2 cup) diced Canadian Feta or semi-soft cheese
- 125 mL (1/2 cup) shredded Canadian Mozzarella
- 3 Irresistibles eggs*
- 125 mL (1/2 cup) milk or light cream
- 15 mL (1 Tbsp.) basil pesto
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Preparation
Preheat oven to 325 °F (170°C).
Brush each sheet of phyllo with melted butter and stack them. Cut in half lengthwise and crosswise to make 4 equal portions. Line 4 buttered large muffin tins or ramekins with dough.
In a frying pan over medium heat, pour remaining butter and cook mushrooms, onion, and zucchini until soft.
Divide cooked vegetables, tomatoes, Feta and Mozzarella among phyllo tart shells.
Beat eggs with milk and stir in pesto. Pepper to taste.
Divide egg mixture evenly among tart shells. Pinch tops together and bake about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
To make phyllo golden and shiny, brush top with melted butter before baking.
For a change of taste, try with Canadian Gruyère, Swiss, Emmental, Oka, Provolone or Cheddar.
Suggestion
These quiches can be prepared ahead, removed from tins or ramekins (very important) and reheated in the oven at 325°F (160°C). They also freeze well.The quiches can be served as hors d'oeuvres when baked in 12 small muffin tins. Cut dough into 12 equal parts and follow directions, Baking should take only 10 to 15 minutes.
