Mini Quiche with Marinated Cucumber

Created by Chef Caroline Achard

 

Quiche is often considered a savory open flan incorporating a pastry crust filled with eggs, milk, cheese, and meat. Often served hot or cold, this French Cuisine is also popular in other countries and can be considered a "party food." 

This month chef Caroline Achard created a crustless mini quiche topped with a wonderful marinated cucumber and roe eggs/smoked salmon. Perfect for our amuse-bouche baking molds, these mini quiche are a great introduction or "finger food" for any event.
