Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package refrigerated pie crust (or homemade shortcrust pastry)
- 6 large eggs
- ¾ cup milk
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or feta)
- ½ cup fresh spinach, chopped
- ½ cup bell pepper, finely diced
- ¼ cup onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
- Roll out the pie crust and cut circles to fit each muffin cup. Press gently into each cup.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Sauté the onion and bell pepper for 3–4 minutes until softened.
- Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and heavy cream.
- Add salt, black pepper, and oregano to the egg mixture.
- Divide the sautéed vegetables evenly into each pastry cup.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the vegetables.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture into each cup, filling about ¾ full.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes until the centers are set and lightly golden.
- Allow mini quiches to cool for 5–10 minutes before removing from the pan.
Notes
Do not overfill the muffin cups as the egg mixture expands during baking. Pre-cooking vegetables prevents excess moisture. Store mini quiches in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven at 170°C (340°F) for best texture. Customize with bacon, mushrooms, or different cheeses for variety.
