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

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

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

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

Spoon the egg mixture into each tart shell, filling about 3/4 full.
7

Bake for 18-20 minutes until the quiches are puffed, golden, and set in the center.
8

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