Bacon Asiago Quiche Tomato Cups ~ Sumptuous Spoonfuls #appetizer #recipe

Bacon Asiago Quiche Tomato Cups

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 20 minutes
  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 10 - 12 mini-quiche cups 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • Several small to medium tomatoes (I used 4 small tomatoes sliced in half + 3 little green ones, tops cut off)
  • 1 slice bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 extra large egg or 2 small ones
  • 1/4 cup half & half or lowfat milk (I used fat free half & half)
  • Red Robin Seasoning (or your favorite seasoned salt) & fresh ground pepper
  • Snipped fresh chives
  • About 3 Tablespoons shredded Asiago cheese

Instructions

  1. If you have perfectly round tomatoes, you can cut them in half. Otherwise, cut off the tops and scoop out the insides with a grapefruit spoon, taking care to leave a good thick layer of tomato for the “crust”. Set the tomatoes, cut side down, on a towel to drain.
  2. In a bowl or large measuring cup that has a nice pour spout, whisk the egg with the half & half and sprinkle well with seasoning and pepper, then whisk a little more. Add in most of the chives and about half the cheese.
  3. Use a clean towel (that you don’t mind staining with tomato) to pat out any extra moisture in the tomatoes, then set the tomato cups on your baking sheet and carefully pour the egg mixture in, filling each tomato about 3/4 full.
  4. Top each little quiche with a bit of shredded cheese. Bake at 350 F for about 20 minutes for mini-tomatoes or up to 45 minutes for medium-sized ones or until the egg mixture is set. It should spring back when you touch it and if you insert a knife in the center of the largest one, it should come out clean.
  5. Sprinkle with fresh chives and serve hot.
