Shrimp Mini Quiche Appetizers

These little shrimp mini quiches are the the perfect appetizer for any holiday gathering, including Thanksgiving. 

Mini quiches make an excellent appetizer, especially with cocktails. Some of my favorites including mini quiche Lorraine and bacon, leek, and cheddar mini quiches. Serve them with a little bubbly or cocktails before dinner. 

These little quiches are so easy to make. I used a Pillsbury premade pie crust and used a 2 1/2 inch round cookie cutter to fit the crusts into a mini muffin pan. You can roll out the scraps to cut out more little rounds. 

For these quiches, you will need cooked salad shrimp that you can usually find in the frozen fish section. 

You will also need chopped onions, eggs, cream, gruyère cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper, parsley, and a dash of Tabasco or another hot sauce. 

You can serve these hot straight from the oven or let them cool to room temperature. They are also great reheated in the toaster oven. 

P.S. I'm not too proud to say that they are delicious for breakfast. I speak from personal experience. They'd also be great with a big tossed green salad for lunch. 

The shrimp flavor in these quiche is pretty mild and very kid friendly. If you'd like a stronger savory shrimp flavor, you can sauté the onions with a little shrimp base. You could also cook some raw jumbo shrimp in their shells in some butter and olive oil. Remove the shells and cut the cooked shrimp into 1/2 inch pieces and divide them among the muffin tin cavities.
