Mushroom Mini-Quiches

Ingredients:

for crust:

  • 1 1/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese (I used the kind in the green can)
  • 1 tablespoon basil
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into 1/2 inch slices
  • 1/4 cup cold water

for filling:

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped mushrooms
  • 1 cup Gouda cheese, grated
  • 3 Extra Large Land O’Lakes All-Natural Eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Cooking Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Add flour, parmesan, basil and butter to a food processor bowl and pulse for about 30 seconds or until butter is crumbly.  With processor running, slowly pour in water until dough comes together and forms a ball.

Remove onto a floured surface and roll out to about 1/4 inch thickness.

Using a 2-inch cookie or biscuit cutter, cut into circles, and press into a mini-muffin tin.  Prick bottoms with a fork.

Bake for 5 minutes.  Remove from oven.

While crust bakes, mix all of the filling ingredients together until well combined.  Carefully spoon filling into crusts, filling them completely full.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.  Remove from oven and cool 5 minutes in muffin tin.

Serve hot or at room temperature.

Enjoy!

Barbecue Chicken Taquitos

by Milisa on May 4, 2012

Barbecue Chicken Taquitos

We have been having barbecue chicken sandwiches with cole slaw on a regular basis.  It is a family favorite.  You know people are passionate about barbecue when they create their own barbecue sauce business.  I sold my barbecue sauce business a few years back and I must say I’ve really been missing it lately.

I made a huge batch of the barbecue chicken this week and had leftovers.  Barbecue leftovers are always usually appreciated more than average leftovers at my house. What I didn’t have was any extra buns.   I saw the huge stack of corn tortillas that I had forgot about and inspiration struck.

I stuffed the barbecued chicken in the little corn tortillas, just like a taquito and deep fried them.  I was eating them as fast as I could make them.  I realized I needed to save a few for pictures!  So I fried a few more.

My oldest son came home and devoured what was left from the photos.  He loved them.  The next day I still had a little barbecue left and a still a huge stack of tortillas so I made them for my husband for lunch.  I served them with a side of cole slaw, I’m telling you there’s nothing better!

Because I’m missing my barbecue business this week and being sentimental, I am going to give one of you lucky readers 2 bottles of the Pine Ridge Barbecue Sauce that I created.  One bottle of regular and one bottle of jalapeno barbecue sauce.  It is in my humble opinion the best sauce ever, even though I no longer make $$ from it. When my recipes call for barbecue sauce, this is the sauce I use.  I usually buy it instead of making it nowadays just because it’s easier.

Barbecue Chicken Taquitos

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup barbecue chicken
  • 10 corn tortillas
  • 2 cups vegetable oil for frying

Cooking Directions:

Place oil in a small cast iron skillet and heat to 350°.

Place corn tortillas on a microwave safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel.  Heat for 30 seconds.

Spoon about 1 1/2 tablespoons of barbecue chicken onto each corn tortilla and roll up.

Using tongs carefully place seam side down in oil.  Cook about 1 minute on each side or until browned.  Drain on paper towels.  Serve immediately.

*I baked chicken breasts in the oven, drizzled with a little olive oil, salt and pepper.  I chopped the chicken and coated liberally with barbecue sauce.  Feel free to use a rotissorie chicken from the deli or any leftover chicken. 

Enjoy!

Miss

disclosure: I am not being compensated for this, I love this sauce because I created it and still love to share it with everyone I meet. I am sponsoring this giveaway.

I tried a new chicken recipe the other night using chicken thighs.  I was a little unsure of the recipe so I baked a pan of chicken legs coated in Italian salad dressing to go with it.  Guess what, the guys didn’t even touch the thighs and I wasn’t impressed. I’ve mentioned before that growing [...]

The Buffalo Guys offered the Virtual Potluck gang a chance to try their Gourmet Buffalo Sausages.  We received a package of Hot Dogs, Brats, Polish Sausages, and Andouille Sausage.  The sausages were all pre-cooked and just had to be reheated. The sausages arrived frozen, so I put them in the fridge. A few days later, [...]
