Category: Quiche and Savory Tarts / Tartlettes

24 cooked fresh shrimp with tails

1 sheet frozen puff pastry (1/2 pkg.), thawed
3 eggs
3/4 cup whipping cream
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
1 pinch nutmeg
1/8 cup Parmesan cheese
4 oz sharp Cheddar or Swiss cheese, cut into 1/2 inch cubes

Preheat oven to 400. Lightly grease 24 two inch muffin cups. Place 1 unfolded pastry sheet on a lightly floured board; roll out into a 12- x 14 inch rectangle; cut into 24 rounds with 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter. Fit pastry rounds in muffin cups.

In a bowl, beat eggs, cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until blended. Place 1 cheese cube in each pastry-lined cup; fill 3/4 full with egg mixture and top with a shrimp, tail to side. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake 10 minutes or until puffed and golden. Serve warm. Yields 24 quiches.
