Mini Bourbon Fudge PiesThis recipe makes 32-36 mini muffin-sized pies or about 10 standard muffin-sized pies. If you want to make a full size pie instead, make 1x the crust and 2x the filling, and bake at 325 degrees for about an hour. Yield:?32?mini pies ?Cook Time:?30minutes?minutes Total Time:?2hours?hours For Crust:- ?1 ??cups?/?188?g?all-purpose flour
- ???cup?/?40?g?powdered sugar
- ???teaspoon?fine sea salt
- ???cup?/?113?g?(1 stick) cold unsalted butter,?cut into cubes
- ?1?large egg,?50g, lightly beaten
For Filling:- ?3?oz?/?85?g?good quality bittersweet chocolate (60-80%)?,?chopped
- ?6?tablespoons?/?85?g?(3/4 stick) unsalted butter,?cut into cubes
- ???cup?/?110?g?packed light brown sugar
- ???cup?/?50?g?granulated sugar
- ?1?tablespoon?Dutch-process cocoa powder
- ???teaspoon?fine sea salt
- ?2?large eggs,?at room temperature
- ?3?tablespoons?/?45?g?bourbon*
To prepare crust, combine flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Add butter and pulse until butter is broken up into lentil-sized pieces. Add lightly beaten egg and pulse a few times until evenly incorporated. The dough will be very crumbly looking, but should stick together if you pinch some between your fingers. Dump the dough out on a piece of plastic wrap and gather it together until it forms a rough ball. Wrap it very tightly, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or more to allow the flour to fully absorb the water molecules. You can also make the dough a day ahead of time and refrigerate overnight. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface or pastry cloth. Cut out rounds of dough (3.25-inch for minis, 4.25-inch for standard muffin size). You can reroll the scraps and cut out more rounds again. You can either ease the rounds into your muffin tin, accepting the rustic folds as is, you can also crimp the edges to make the crust fit inside the cup (not unlike a dumpling). Alternatively, cut out three wedges from the round (printable template here) and ease the crust down into the cup, overlapping the edges and pressing slightly to seal. Place the entire pan in the freezer for at least 15 minutes to firm up. Line the frozen crusts with small pieces of parchment paper or small paper candy cups (slightly smaller than mini muffin size, ideally). Fill with rice or pie weights. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until puffed and edges are just starting to brown. Remove from oven and let cool slightly, until cool enough to remove the paper and weights from the crusts. To make filling, gently melt chocolate and butter together in a double boiler or in the microwave, heating in 30 second intervals at 50% power, stirring after each interval, until melted and smooth. In a bowl, whisk together sugars, cocoa powder and salt. Whisk in eggs, one at a time, until smooth. Whisk in bourbon, followed by chocolate mixture, until smooth. Pour or spoon into baked crusts, filling not quite to the top as the filling will puff as it bakes. For minis that's about a scant tablespoon or 1 small cookie scoop, for standard size muffins it's a generous 3 tablespoons or 1 large cookie scoop. Bake for 10 to 14 minutes for minis, or 16 to 20 minutes for standard size pies, or until crust is golden and pie is puffed around the edges and the center is a bit less so but not raw looking. If you prefer a firmer pie (more like a fudgy brownie) you can bake the pie slightly longer. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool before removing from the muffin tin. Serve at room temperature topped with a dollop of whipped cream. Pies (sans whipped cream) will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days (though the crust will lose some of its crispness). Let come to room temperature before serving. Pies can also be frozen for up to 1 month, thaw overnight in the fridge, then pop in a 350 degree oven for a few minutes to refresh the crust a bit before serving.
- *Feel free to swap for another liquor instead, such as rum, amaretto, or even Bailey's or Kahl¨²a. Or, if you'd rather leave it out entirely, simply replace with 1 tablespoon vanilla extract.

Chocolate Raspberry S¡¯mores Tart
Chocolate Raspberry S'mores TartThis stunning tart is basically a giant raspberry-flavored s'more with a silky chocolate ganache and fluffy marshmallow meringue topping flavored with freeze-dried raspberries. This recipe makes one 6-inch tart; double the recipe for a standard 9-inch tart pan. Yield:?1?6-inch tart (6-8?servings) ?For Crust:- ???cup?/?100?g?graham cracker crumbs,?from about 4 oz, or 8 double cookies
- ?3?tablespoons?/?42?g?unsalted butter,?cut into chunks
- ?1?teaspoon?/?10?g?corn syrup,?optional, but it helps to keep the crust together
- ?pinch?fine sea salt
- ?3?tablespoons?/?60?g?raspberry jam
For Ganache Filling:- ?3?ounces?/?85?g?good quality dark chocolate,?60-70%, finely chopped
- ?3?ounces?/?85?g?good quality milk chocolate,?finely chopped
- ???cup?/?120?g?heavy whipping cream
- ?1?tablespoon?unsalted butter,?at room temperature, cut into small pieces
For Raspberry Meringue Topping:- ?2?/?2?large egg whites
- ???cup?/?100?g?granulated sugar
- ???teaspoon?cream of tartar
- ?1?teaspoon?vanilla
- ???cup?/?18?g?finely ground freeze-dried raspberry powder
- ?fresh raspberries,?for decoration (optional)
To prepare crust, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Finely chop graham crackers in a food processor. In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave butter and corn syrup for about 45 seconds or until melted. Pour into crumb mixture along with salt and fold until incorporated and crumbs are evenly moistened. Dump into a?6-inch round tart pan?(or equivalent, such as three 4-inch mini tart pans) with a removable bottom. Press firmly onto bottom and up the sides (use a tamper or a small flat-bottomed glass to help if necessary). Bake for 5 to 7 minutes or until set. If the crust has puffed up at all, use a lightly greased flat-bottomed glass to gently press it back into place. While crust is still warm, spread a thin layer of jam into the bottom of the crust using an offset spatula. Be careful to spread the jam without lifting the crumbs from the crust; it'll be easier to spread if you to put a few smaller dollops around the whole crust as opposed to one large blob in the middle. Set aside while you prepare the ganache. For ganache, place chopped chocolate in a heat-proof bowl. The finer you can chop this chocolate the better. Heat cream in a small saucepan until it just begins to bubble (do not let it fully boil). Pour over chopped chocolate. Let sit for 30 seconds, then begin to gently whisk, making small concentric circles in the center of the bowl, until chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Add butter, 1 small chunk at a time, whisking slowly until fully incorporated. Immediately pour ganache into crust on top of jam. Gently tap the pan a few times on the counter to help it settle and remove air bubbles. Let sit for 1 to 2 hours at cool room temperature or refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes just set. Meanwhile, to make the meringue,?combine egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar in a medium-sized heat proof bowl. Set bowl over a pan of gently simmering water. If you have an appropriately sized sauce pan, you can also use the bowl of your stand mixer. Just make sure the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water below. Gently whisk over the simmering water until mixture is hot to the touch and sugar is fully dissolved. It should read 170 degrees F on an instant read thermometer, and if you rub a bit between your fingertips (careful, it's hot!) you should not feel any grainy sugar. Remove from heat. With an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat on high speed until meringue is thick and glossy and holds stiff peaks. It should also no longer feel warm to the touch. Add vanilla and freeze-dried raspberry and mix until evenly distributed. Transfer meringue to a piping bag fitted with a 1/2-inch round piping tip. Pipe on top of set ganache in a decorative pattern. Alternatively, you can dump the meringue onto the tart and spread with a large offset spatula into a swoopy mound. Refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes to allow meringue to set, then lightly brown using a kitchen torch (this step is optional, just don't use a broiler or anything to try to toast the meringue as it will melt the ganache too much). Return to the refrigerator to set up again, at least 30 minutes or overnight, until ready to serve. Top with fresh raspberries for garnish, as desired. Lift out of tart pan using removable bottom and slice using a lightly greased knife that has been slightly warmed under hot water. Clean blade completely between each cut; re-warm and re-grease as necessary. Tart will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Caramel Apple & Almond Cream Tart
Caramel Apple & Almond Cream Entremet TartThis recipe makes 1 9-inch tart, two 6-inch tarts, or eight 3.5-inch tartlets (the photos in this post show one 6-inch and four 3.5-inch tartlets). Yield:?one 9-inch tart (about 12 servings) ?Prep Time:?2hours?hours Cook Time:?20minutes?minutes Total Time:?12hours?hours For Crust:- ?1??cups?/?190?g?all-purpose flour
- ???cup?/?50?g?almond meal or almond flour
- ?2?tablespoons?/?12?g?powdered sugar
- ???teaspoon?fine sea salt
- ???cup?/?113?g?unsalted butter (1 stick),?cold and cut into cubes
- ?1?large?egg,?cold
- ?2-3?teaspoons?water,?as needed
For Caramel Apple layer:- ?2?large?apples (about 12oz or 340g),?peeled, cored, and cut into small 3/8-inch cubes (I recommend one granny smith and one softer, sweeter variety like Gala)
- ?2?teaspoons?lemon juice
- ?1?sheet?leaf gelatin* (gold strength),?cut into strips and softened in cold water for at least 5 minutes
- ???cup?/?100?g?granulated sugar
- ?2?tablespoons?/?42?g?corn syrup
- ?2?tablespoons?water
- ???cup?/?60?g?heavy cream,?at room temperature
- ?2?tablespoons?butter,?at room temperature
- ???teaspoon?fleur de sel
- ???teaspoon?ground cinnamon
- ???teaspoon?ground cardamom
For Vanilla-Almond Cr¨¦meux:- ?2?sheets?leaf gelatin* (gold strength),?cut into strips and softened in cold water for at least 5 minutes
- ???cup?/?120?g?heavy cream
- ???cup?/?120?g?whole milk
- ?1?vanilla bean,?split and seeds scraped out (or substitute 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or extract¡ªadd at the end with the almond)
- ?3?large?egg yolks,?at room temperature
- ?3.5?oz?/?100?g?good quality white chocolate,?finely chopped
- ???teaspoon?almond extract
For Mascarpone Whipped Cream:- ???cup?heavy whipping cream
- ?2?tablespoons?/?12?g?powdered sugar
- ?2?tablespoons?mascarpone,?let sit at room temperature for no longer than 15 minutes
For Apple Garnish:- ?1?apple,?I recommend a softer red variety like Gala, very thinly sliced
- ?1?cup?water
- ?1?tablespoon?sugar
- ???teaspoon?salt
- ???teaspoon?citric acid,?or use 2 teaspoons lemon juice
For Crust:Combine flour, almond meal, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor; pulse once or twice to combine. Sprinkle over cubed butter and pulse a few more times until butter is broken up into pea-sized pieces. Add egg and pulse a few more times until evenly moistened and dough sticks together when pinched between your fingers. If necessary, add 2-3 teaspoons of water and pulse to combine. Dump crumbly dough out onto a clean tea towel; gather up the edges and twist to tighten. This should bring the dough together into a cohesive ball. If making 6-inch tarts or tartlets, split into two balls, then flatten slightly into a disk, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour. On a lightly floured surface or pastry cloth, roll out dough to an even 3-4mm thickness (2-3mm for tartlets). Gently drape into a tart pan with removable bottom. Take care not to stretch the dough, rather easing the sides into the pan. Trim off edges. Freeze for 15 to 30 minutes until firm (shaped crust can also be frozen for up to a month). While shell is chilling, preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Crumple up a piece of parchment paper and place into frozen crust; fill with granulated sugar or another weight like rice or beans. Bake for about 15 to 18 minutes (smaller tartlets will need less time), or until edges are just starting to color. Carefully lift out the parchment and weights and set aside to cool. Return unlined tart shell to oven for 3 to 5 minutes more or until edges and bottoms are lightly browned. Set on a wire rack to cool completely while you prepare the other layers.
For Caramel Apple layer:Peel and core apples and cut into a fine (1/4 to 3/8-inch) dice. Toss cut apple in a bowl with lemon juice as you go, this will prevent browning. You should have 2 cups of diced apple. Set aside. Cut gelatin sheet into 1-inch strips and place in a bowl of cool water to soften. If using powdered gelatin, sprinkle over a tablespoon or so of cool water and let it bloom for at least 5 minutes. In a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan, add sugar, corn syrup, and water. Set over medium/medium-high heat and gently stir until sugar is dissolved. Once the sugar mixture starts to boil, do not stir it again. Brush down any stray sugar crystals on the side of pan with a pastry brush dipped in water. Continue to cook, swirling the pan here and there (no stirring!) until it caramelizes and turns a light amber brown. Watch it carefully as once it starts to caramelize it will go from perfect to burnt in seconds. Remove from heat and immediately add butter, whisking until melted. Add cream and continue to whisk (careful as it will sputter and steam quite a bit) until smooth. Return to medium-high heat and add in apple cubes. Bring back to a simmer. If you have a candy thermometer, position it on the side of the pan now, ensuring the tip doesn't touch the bottom. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until it reaches 250-235 degrees F. Remove from heat and let it cool until it goes below 200 degrees F. Pick softened gelatin up out of the water, squeezing out as much excess water as you can, and stir into caramel apple mixture. (If using powdered gelatin, microwave the bloomed gelatin for 5 to 10 seconds until fully melted, then add to saucepan.) Stir until gelatin is fully melted and incorporated, then pour into tart shell. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until fully set.
For Vanilla-Almond Cr¨¦meux:Cut gelatin sheet into 1-inch strips and place in a bowl of cool water to soften. If using powdered gelatin, sprinkle over a two tablespoons of cool water and let it bloom for at least 5 minutes. Place chopped white chocolate in a heat proof bowl or 2-cup-capacity glass measuring cup and set aside. Combine milk and cream in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Add scrapped vanilla bean seeds. Let it warm until the mixture starts to steam and barely bubble around the edges (do not let it boil). Whisk egg yolks in a bowl until just lightened in color. Ladle in about half of the warm milk mixture, 1/4 cup at a time, whisking constantly, until egg mixture is warm to the touch. Pour back into to saucepan and set over medium heat, stirring regularly, until the custard thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon (it should measure 175 degrees F). Squeeze water out of softened gelatin (or microwave 5-10 seconds if using powdered), then add to warm custard, stirring until gelatin is fully melted and incorporated. Pour still-warm mixture through a fine mesh sieve set over bowl of white chocolate (this will remove any stray solids or bits of egg that may have gotten over cooked). Gently stir until white chocolate is completely melted and mixture is smooth. Stir in almond extract. Pour into tart shell on top of the set caramel layer, filling it as full as you can make it without overflowing. It may be hard to move when it is this full, so I recommend letting it sit for 30 minutes or so (it will start to set up), then transfer to the fridge to set completely, at least 2 hours or overnight.
For Mascarpone Whipped Cream:Place cold cream in the bowl of a stand mixer (chilled if you want) fitted with the whisk attachment. Add powdered sugar and whip until it starts to thicken and hold soft folds. Add mascarpone, then increase speed to medium high and continue to whip until it holds medium soft peaks. Take care not to overwhip or you'll end up with butter! You can spoon the whipped cream on top of the tart, swirling with the back of a spoon for a more rustic appearance, or transfer it to a piping bag fitted with a 1/2-inch-round tip. Pipe circles of cream around the circumference of the tart, then using the back of a small spoon (dip in hot water and pat dry), swipe the cream towards the center of the tart. Wipe spoon between each swipe and rewarm in water as needed. Repeat with a second row, or a third for larger tarts as needed, leaving the center open for the garnish (if desired).
For Apple Roses:Combine water, sugar, salt and citric acid in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cut off two 'cheeks' from the apple, then slice as thin as possible (use a super sharp knife, or a mandoline if you are comfortable using one). Place apple slices in hot brine and let soak for a minute or two. Take out a slice and test its 'bendiness'... if it breaks when you try to roll it up, give it a few more minutes. When soft, drain slices and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. I find it's easiest to work with the slices when they are still warm, so if you want to keep the brine over low heat, you can re-warm the apples as needed as you go, or work in batches. Place one softened apple slice down on your work surface. Add another slice on top, lining up the cut edges and overlapping about half of the slice with the one underneath. Repeat with about 6 to 8 slices of apple per flower (more slices will make a bigger flower). I also like to match up the sizes of the slices, using the smaller slices from the ends for smaller roses, and the bigger middle slices for the bigger ones. If you are making smaller tartlets you may opt for more smaller flowers and vice versa. Starting with the first slice you laid down, roll up the entire row as tightly as you can without breaking them. If the apples were sufficiently soft they should hold their shape, but you can also use a toothpick to secure the slices in place (just remember to remove it before eating). Trim off the uneven bottoms as needed, then arrange on top of the tart as desired.
- *To substitute powdered gelatin, 1 teaspoon powdered gelatin=1 sheet. To bloom, sprinkle over cool water (1 tablespoon for every teaspoon powder), let soften for at least 5 minutes. Then melt in the microwave for 5-10 seconds before incorporating into the recipe as specified.

Persimmon PiePersimmon pie is smooth and creamy, lightly spiced with flavor notes of honey, pumpkin, and apricot. Serve with a dollop of freshly whipped cream for the perfect bite! Yield:?1 9-inch pie (about 12 servings) ?Cook Time:?1hour?hour?15minutes?minutes Total Time:?2hours?hours For Crust:- ?1??cups?/?187?g?all-purpose flour
- ???teaspoon?fine sea salt
- ???teaspoon?baking powder
- ???cup?/?113?g?(1 stick) very cold unsalted butter,?cut into cubes
- ?1?teaspoon?apple cider vinegar
- ?3 to 5?tablespoons?ice water,?as needed
For Pie Filling:- ?8?large ripe Fuyu* persimmons,?enough to make 2 cups of puree
- ???cup?/?192?g?evaporated milk
- ???cup?/?105?g?packed light brown sugar
- ?1?tablespoon?all-purpose flour
- ?1??teaspoons?ground cinnamon
- ???teaspoon?ground ginger
- ???teaspoon?fine sea salt
- ???teaspoon?ground allspice
- ?2?large eggs
- ?1?large egg yolk
- ?1?teaspoon?vanilla extract
To prepare crust:Place the flour, salt, and baking powder in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. The colder the better for all the ingredients and tools. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the cold butter a few cubes at a time, until the butter breaks up into pea-sized crumbs (any larger chunks you can break up with your fingers). Add the apple cider vinegar and one tablespoon of ice water at a time, mixing on low speed until it just barely comes together into a crumbly dough (you should be able to pinch a piece of dough and have it hold together). Knead the dough once or twice to form a ball, then form into a disc.?Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and?refrigerate for?at least?1 hour or overnight. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Let the crust come to room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes (it should be still cool but pliable). Roll out crust into a round large enough to fit into your pie pan with a 1-inch overhang. Gently transfer rolled out crust to pie pan, easing it into the pan so as not to stretch the dough. Trim any uneven edges so there is a nice even overhang around the entire pie. Fold the overhang under itself, then crimp as desired. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or freeze for 15. Line pie with a piece of crumpled parchment paper or foil, lightly draping over the crimped edges. Fill with granulated sugar to weight it down (pie weights work too, also dried rice or beans). Bake crust for 15 minutes, then remove from oven and carefully lift out parchment with weights. Pop it back in the oven for another 5 to 10 minutes until the bottom dries out a bit and the edges just barely start to brown. Place on a wire rack and let cool while you prepare the filling.
For the Filling:Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Peel and core persimmons (or, if very ripe, scoop out the jelly-like flesh with a spoon). Discard seeds, if any, then place in a blender and pulse until smooth. Transfer to a saucepan set over medium heat, bring to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring consistently (be careful as it will bubble and sputter), until puree has reduced to 1? cups, about 15 minutes. This step can be done ahead of time, refrigerate reduced puree in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to a month. Add evaporated milk, brown sugar, flour, salt and spices. Return to heat and warm until it just starts to bubble. Whisk eggs and egg yolk in a bowl until smooth and uniform. Ladle in hot persimmon mixture, 1/4 cup or so at a time, whisking constantly to incorporate. Continue to ladle in hot persimmon mixture until about half has been incorporated and egg mixture is hot to the touch. Return entire mixture to saucepan and whisk until smooth. Whisk in vanilla, then pour into prepared crust. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until edges are set and center is just slightly jiggly (if you want to be precise about it, the interior temperature will read 180-190 degrees F when the pie is done. Remove from heat and let cool completely on a wire rack, then lightly cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, up to a day ahead of time (technically it can be made further ahead of time but the crust may get a little soft after a day or two).
- *For this recipe I recommend using Fuyu persimmons. While fully-ripe Hachiyas should work in theory, they can sometimes have unexpected (and undesirable) results when cooked. I'm still trying to figure out a workaround for this variety, and will certainly update the recipe here when/if I do so.

Mango Lime TartThis tart and tangy mango lime tart features an ultra creamy mango lime custard filling nestled in a sweet and salty graham cracker crust with a pinch of cayenne. Yield:?one 9-inch tart (about 12 servings) ?Prep Time:?20minutes?minutes Cook Time:?18minutes?minutes Total Time:?4hours?hours For Crust:- ?7?oz?graham crackers,?about 13 full size crackers
- ?pinch?fine sea salt
- ???teaspoon?ground cayenne pepper,?optional
- ?5?tablespoons?unsalted butter,?melted
For Mango Lime Filling:- ?1?pound?mango (about 3 medium),?peeled and cored
- ?6?tablespoons?freshly squeezed lime juice
- ?4?egg yolks,?at room temperature
- ?1?14oz can?sweetened condensed milk
- ???teaspoon?fine sea salt
- ?2?tablespoons?Amoretti Natural Mango Artisan Flavor
For Topping:- ?1?cup?heavy whipping cream
- ?2?tablespoons?powdered sugar
- ???teaspoon?vanilla extract
- ?lime zest,?for garnish
- ?mango or other edible flowers flowers,?optional, for decoration
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a food processor, pulse graham crackers until very finely ground. Add salt and cayenne and pulse to combine. Drizzle in melted butter, then pulse a few times until crumbs are evenly moistened. Dump crumb mixture into a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom (you can also use a standard 9-inch pie pan). Use a flat bottomed glass or measuring cup to firmly press the crumb mixture evenly over the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly. To make filling, peel and core mango, slicing off as much of the flesh from the fibrous core as you can. Place mango in the bowl of a food processor or blender and process until very smooth. Press puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove any chunks or fibrous bits. You should have 1 cup (about 240g) of puree. In a mixing bowl, whisk egg yolks with lime juice. Whisk in sweetened condensed milk, followed by strained mango puree. Finally, whisk in mango flavoring (if using). Pour filling into baked crust. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until edges are set and center is still pretty jiggly, but not liquidy (think jello). It will set up further as it cools. Set on a wire rack and let cool completely to room temperature, then transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 3 hours or overnight (lightly cover if you're storing it longer). For whipped cream topping, beat cream with an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until it starts to thicken. Sift in powdered sugar and continue to whip until it forms medium-soft peaks. Fold in vanilla. You can either dollop the whipped cream onto the tart, swirling it rustically with a spoon, or transfer to a piping bag and pipe a decorative design around the circumference of the tart. Garnish with a bit of lime zest and mango and/or edible flowers as desired.

- 2 1/2 to 3?cups?cheese?two or more kinds
- 1?cup?cottage cheese
- 4?oz?green chiles?1 can - drained, chopped
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Press the crust into the bottom and up the side of the pan. Use a fork to poke holds into the bottom of the crust. Bake the crust in the center of the preheated oven until golden brown. If making mini quiches - the crust will only take 2-3 minutes, for a full-size quiche, about 7 minutes. Remove the crust from the oven and reduce the temperature to 350 degrees. While the crusts are baking, grate the zucchini onto a clean kitchen towel and squeeze dry. Add the oil to a skillet and heat over medium heat until hot. Add in the shallots and cook until nice and soft. Add in the zucchini and turn up the heat to high. Cook the zucchini and shallots for an additional 3-5 minutes. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until nice and fluffy (2-3 minutes). Grate the cheese - I used a sharp cheddar and Dubliner cheese mix for this quiche. I've had it with Monterey Jack, pepper jack, white cheddar - ALL are good so use your favorite combination. Add in the grated cheese, cottage, zucchini mixture, green chiles, and flour mixture and beat until combined. Pour the mixture into the crust(s).
