Mini Quiches Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 package pre-made pie crusts or puff pastry
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream or whole milk
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 cup shredded cheese (e.g., cheddar, Swiss, or a mix)
• Optional fillings: diced ham, cooked bacon, sautéed vegetables (like onions, bell peppers, mushrooms), fresh herbs

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a mini muffin tin.
2. Prepare the crust: Roll out your pie crust or puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Use a cookie cutter or a large cup to cut out circles slightly bigger than the muffin cups. Press the dough circles into the muffin tin.
3. Mix the eggs and cream: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, salt, and pepper. Stir in the shredded cheese and any other fillings you like.
4. Assemble the quiches: Spoon the egg mixture into each pastry-lined cup, filling them about 3/4 full.
5. Bake: Place the mini muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg is set and the tops are golden brown.
6. Cool and serve: Let the mini quiches cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin. They can be served warm or at room temperature.

This recipe is highly adaptable, so feel free to experiment with different types of cheese and fillings to find your favorite combination!
