Colorful mini quiche cups featuring creamy filling and crisp crust, perfect for festive occasions.

# What You'll Need:

→ Crust

01 - 1 sheet ready-rolled shortcrust pastry (approximately 8 oz)

→ Filling

02 - 4 large eggs
03 - ½ cup whole milk
04 - ¼ cup heavy cream
05 - 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
06 - ½ cup diced red bell pepper

12 - ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)

→ Topping

13 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or chives (optional)

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin to prevent sticking.
02 - Roll out the shortcrust pastry and cut 24 rounds approximately 2 inches in diameter. Press each round firmly into the muffin tin cups to form bases.
03 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and heavy cream until smooth. Fold in grated cheddar, diced bell pepper, chopped spinach, sliced green onions, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg if using.
04 - Spoon the filling evenly into each pastry-lined cup, filling about three-quarters full.
05 - Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until the filling is set and tops are lightly golden.
06 - Remove from the oven and allow quiches to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives before serving.
