Ingredients
FOR THE CRUST
- 1 package (14 oz.) refrigerated pie crust, softened according to package instructions
FILLING
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk, (whole or 2%)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage, (optional)
- 1/2 cup chopped spinach
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
Instructions
PREPARATION:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare the Crust: Roll out the softened pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Using a round cookie cutter or a glass, cut circles out of the dough to fit the cups of a mini muffin tin. Gently press each dough circle into the cups of the mini muffin tin to form little crusts.
FOR THE FILLING:
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Assemble the Quiches: Evenly distribute the cheddar cheese, feta cheese, bacon or sausage (if using), spinach, bell peppers, and green onions into the crust-lined muffin cups. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the fillings, filling each cup to about 3/4 full.
BAKING:
- Bake the Mini Quiches: Place the mini muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg filling is set and the tops are lightly golden.
COOLING AND SERVING:
- Cool and Serve: Remove the mini quiches from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Carefully remove the quiches from the tin and serve warm, or let them cool completely on a wire rack for later enjoyment.
