Individual Prosciutto And Spinach Pies Recipes

PROSCIUTTO, SPINACH, AND EGG PIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Lightly spray a 6 cup muffin tin.
• Line the muffin cups with the prosciutto slices, pressing the prosciutto into the bottom and sides of each cup (the prosciutto slices will overlap each other on top of the tin).
• Crack 1 egg into each cup.
• Sprinkle the spinach over the eggs, then the Cheddar cheese, dividing them evenly.
• Top each serving with 4 tomato halves and season with salt and pepper. Bake the pies for 18 to 20 minutes, until the egg whites are firm and the yolks are starting to set but are still soft in the center. Timing might vary due to oven differences and preferences.
• Set them aside to cool for about 5 minutes.
• Run a knife around the edges of each cup to loosen, then lift the pies out of the tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.

COLORFUL SPINACH AND PROSCIUTTO SIDE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the spinach, prosciutto, red peppers and artichoke hearts. Season with garlic powder. Cook and stir for 15 minutes, until heated through.

MINI QUICHE 4 WAYS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 12x18-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place tart shells on the prepared baking sheet and prick the sides and bottoms with a fork.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. The partial cook will help keep the pastry crispy on the bottom. Allow shells to cool slightly, in the pan, about 10 minutes.
• To make the mini-quiches: when shells are cooled but still warm, place 1 tablespoon Cheddar cheese in the bottom of 8 of the partially-baked tart shells. To 4 of the Cheddar-filled shells, add 1/2 piece of bacon, crumbled, and 1 tablespoon bell pepper. To the remaining 4 Cheddar-filled shells, add 1 tablespoon diced ham, 1 tablespoon broccoli, and 1/8 teaspoon thyme.
• Place 1 tablespoon Gruyere on the bottom of remaining partially-baked tart shells. To each of 4 of the Gruyere-filled shells, add 1 tablespoon cooked onion, 1 tablespoon of cooked, minced mushrooms, and 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder. To each of the remaining Gruyere-filled shells, add 1/4 of the diced prosciutto, 1 tablespoon cooked spinach, 1/8 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend, and a pinch of nutmeg, if using, to taste.
• Briskly stir eggs together with cream, salt, and pepper in a medium mixing bowl. Pour 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of the egg mixture into each of the 16 filled shells.
• Top the bacon/bell pepper mini quiches with a cherry tomato half. Top the ham/broccoli mini quiches with 1 teaspoon diced red onion. Top the onion/mushroom mini quiches with 1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley, and top the prosciutto/spinach mini quiches with 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh basil.
• Place mini quiches in the oven, and reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake until the egg mixture is set and the crust is lightly browned, 30 to 35 minutes. Allow to cool on a rack, about 10 minutes. Serve warm.

ITALIAN SPINACH PIES

Steps:

• Heat oil and butter up in a 12 inch skillet and add the garlic. Saute for a minute and then add pepper flakes and saute for another minute.Add the spinach and heat it through and taste and season with salt and black pepper.
• Separate dough into 8 portions and let rise until doubled, punch down and rest for 10 minutes. Roll each portion into a circle - not too thin that it tears. Fill one side with cooled spinach mixture, fold dough over and crimp the edge. Let rest while you pre-heat the oven to 375.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until crust looks done.
• Before baking you can mark the pies with letter H using a fork to distinguish the pies with hot pepper flakes from the plain.
• It's really simple. I think the more simple the better although I have added dried tomatoes and other things. Hope you try this.
