Baking Temp 350°F
Equipment
- Large baking sheet
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
- 30 mini phyllo pastry shells
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup cooked, finely diced chicken
- 1 4-ounce can diced green chiles
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
- ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Instructions
For the Quiche Cups
- Preheat oven to 350oF. Arrange the phyllo shells on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, salt, and pepper.
- In another small bowl, toss together the chicken, chiles, cilantro and cheese.
- Spoon 1 rounded teaspoon of chicken filling into each phyllo shell. Then add about 1 teaspoon of the egg mixture. Let the shells sit for about a minute so the egg mixture can settle to the bottom.
- Add another small amount of the chicken mixture to each shell, and add about another teaspoon of the egg mixture, filling it close to the top.
- Bake the cups about 15 minutes, or until the center is set. Serve warm. Leftovers should be covered tightly and stored in the refrigerator.
Helpful hints
- Add some diced jalapeños to spice them up a bit.
- After the quiche cups have cooled, you can freeze them in a sealed container. To serve, reheat them in a 350oF oven for about 10-15 minutes.
