Description

These Miniature Shrimp Quiches are the perfect elegant appetizer or light lunch. The buttery pastry shells hold a rich, creamy custard base infused with fresh herbs and sharp Swiss cheese. Tender, finely chopped shrimp add a delicate seafood flavor that pairs beautifully with the aromatic thyme and nutmeg. Each bite offers a satisfying combination of crispy crust and smooth filling. Ideal for brunches, cocktail parties, or a sophisticated weeknight dinner, these quiches are impressive yet simple to assemble. The individual portions make serving effortless, ensuring every guest gets a perfectly balanced taste of French-inspired cuisine without the fuss of cutting into a large pie.

  5. Add the finely chopped cooked shrimp and shredded Swiss cheese to the egg mixture.
  6. Fold in the dried thyme and chopped fresh chives.
  7. Pour the filling evenly into the pastry shells, filling each about three-quarters full.

  10. Serve warm or at room temperature.
