Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: French
Serves: 12 mini quiches
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
- Roll out the pie crust on a lightly floured surface and use a round cookie cutter or glass to cut circles slightly larger than the muffin tin wells.
- Gently press the pie crust circles into each muffin cup, ensuring they are evenly distributed and come up the sides of the wells.
- Wash and finely chop the fresh spinach leaves, removing any tough stems.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Sprinkle the chopped spinach and shredded cheese evenly into each pie crust-lined muffin well.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture over the spinach and cheese, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the quiches are golden brown and the egg is set.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the tin for 5 minutes before gently removing the mini quiches.
- Serve warm or at room temperature as a delightful breakfast or brunch appetizer.
Tips
- Customize Your Fillings: Feel free to get creative with your quiche fillings! Add diced bell peppers, cooked bacon, or even sun-dried tomatoes for an extra flavor kick.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh spinach and quality cheese make a big difference in taste. Opt for freshly shredded cheese instead of pre-packaged for a creamier texture.
- Don’t Overfill: When pouring the egg mixture, be careful not to overfill each cup. Leaving a little space allows the quiches to puff up nicely without spilling over.
- Make Ahead: These mini quiches can be prepared in advance! Bake them, let them cool, and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for a quick breakfast.
- Perfect Pairing: Serve these quiches with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for a balanced meal that’s both satisfying and refreshing.
