Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs beaten
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or milk for a lighter version
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup ham diced, optional
  • 1/2 cup spinach chopped, optional
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped, optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed, optional

Equipment

  • Mini muffin tin
  • Whisk
  • Cutting board and knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and generously grease your mini muffin tin with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
  3. Add the salt, black pepper, and chopped herbs to the egg mixture, stirring to combine.
  4. Fold in the shredded cheese, diced ham, and chopped spinach to the egg mixture, distributing evenly.
  5. If using puff pastry, cut it into small circles slightly larger than the muffin cups and gently press into the bottoms and sides of each cup.
  6. Pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling about 3/4 full, ensuring even distribution.
  7. Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, until the edges are golden and the filling is just set with a slight wobble in the center.
  8. Remove the tin from the oven and let the mini quiche bites rest for about 5 minutes, allowing them to firm up slightly.
  9. Use a small spatula or knife to gently lift each bite from the tin, then transfer to a serving platter.
  10. Serve the mini quiche bites warm or at room temperature, perhaps with a dollop of sour cream or a dash of hot sauce for extra flavor.

Notes

For a heartier crust, layer puff pastry at the bottom of each muffin cup before adding the filling. Feel free to customize fillings with your favorite vegetables, meats, or herbs. Keep an eye on baking time to prevent over-browning or undercooking.
