Want to whip up something fancy for a party or function? Look no further, for these exquisite Tapas Quiche Lorraine will be the perfect item you can bring to impress anyone.

For a start “Tapas” refers to small savoury bites, and in this context, these are bite-sized servings of a well-flavoured, savoury Quiche Lorraine.

While making these Tapas Quiche Lorraine can be intimidating for the beginner, the steps are straightforward. Furthermore, your cooking experience will come in extremely handy here in the preparation for fillings and seasonings.

Firstly, you will have to assemble the crust for these Tapas Quiche Lorraine. To do so, you will be cutting the butter into the dry ingredients until it assembles coarse crumbs. I am using my hands, but you could use two forks, or a pastry blender too!

Once you are done and refrigerating the crust, you can proceed to cook the filling. I used a mixture of fillings to my fancy and you can modify it to your liking. However, I made sure to use fragrant vegetables such as onion to pack a flavourful punch. This is especially as these Tapas Quiche Lorraine are dainty, and I would like the flavour profile to be impactful.

After the filling, I also pre-baked the tart shells using a Non-Stick Silform Mesh from Okaimono (clickable) for even baking.

Then, you are ready to bake everything together with an egg filling.
