Instructions
Making mini quiches is a simple process. Follow these easy steps to create your delicious treats:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a mini muffin tin.
2. Prepare the Crust: Roll out the pie crust and use a round cutter to cut out circles. Press each circle into the mini muffin tin to form the crusts.
3. Mix Eggs and Cream: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Add Fillings: Stir in the shredded cheese, diced vegetables, and any cooked meat if using. Mix until everything is evenly distributed.
5. Fill the Crusts: Pour the egg mixture into each pie crust, filling them about three-quarters full to allow for rising.
6. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the egg is set and the tops are golden.
7. Cool: Once baked, remove the mini quiches from the oven and allow them to cool for about 10 minutes.
8. Remove from Tin: Carefully remove the mini quiches from the tin using a spoon or knife to help release them.
9. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle fresh herbs on top for added flavor and presentation.
