Ingredients

  • 2 refrigerated pie crust, or homemade
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheese, cheddar, Swiss, or Gruyère
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 bell pepper, finely diced
  • 1/2 onion, finely diced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin.

  2. 2

    Roll out 2 or homemade refrigerated pie crust on a floured surface. Using a 2.5-inch round cookie cutter, cut out 24 circles.

  3. 3

    Press each circle into a muffin cup, forming a small tart shell. Prick the bottoms with a fork.

  4. 4

    In a skillet over medium heat, sauté 1/2 finely diced onion and 1/2 finely diced bell pepper until softened, about 5 minutes. Add 1 cup chopped fresh spinach and cook until wilted. Let cool slightly.

  5. 5

    In a bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Stir in the 1 cup cheddar, Swiss, or Gruyère shredded cheese and vegetable mixture.

  6. 6

    Spoon the egg mixture into each tart shell, filling about 3/4 full.

  7. 7

    Bake for 18-20 minutes until the quiches are puffed, golden, and set in the center.

  8. 8

    Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from the tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.
