Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Take the thawed puff pastry and roll it out on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into circles that will fit into your muffin tin.
  • Spray your muffin tin with a bit of cooking spray or butter.
  • Press each pastry circle into the greased muffin tin, making sure it goes up the sides.

Filling Preparation

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper until frothy.
  • Stir in the shredded cheddar and grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Gently fold in the chopped spinach.

Baking

  • Carefully pour the egg and cheese mixture into each pastry shell until they are about 3/4 full.

  • Let the mini quiches cool for a few minutes before gently removing them from the tin.

Serving

  • Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme and serve warm.

Notes

For extra crispy crust, bake the pastry shells alone for about 5 minutes before adding the filling. Use fresh herbs for enhanced flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
