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.

Questions

Can I make Mini Quiches dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 1 cup milk, 1 cup shredded cheese, cheddar, Swiss, or Gruyère. Swap the milk for unsweetened oat or soy milk; the cheese for a plant-based melting cheese (expect a milder flavor). The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

Can I make Mini Quiches ahead?

Yes, it takes well to being made ahead. Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Reheat covered in a 300 F oven until warmed through.

Can I halve or double Mini Quiches?

Yes. As written it serves 24. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, split it across two pans and rotate them halfway; one crowded pan bakes unevenly.
