Mini Puff Pastry Quiche

Ingredients:

• 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
• 4 eggs
• 3/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or your favorite cheese)
• Optional toppings: bacon, chopped spinach, diced tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, peppers, or any other vegetables or meats you prefer

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Roll out the puff pastry sheet and cut it into 12 small circles, using a cookie cutter or a glass. Press each circle into a muffin tin, making sure the pastry goes up the sides of the cups.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the shredded cheese and any toppings of your choice.
4. Pour the egg mixture into the pastry cups, filling each one about 2/3 full.
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and the quiches are puffed and set. Let cool in the tin for a few minutes before removing them and serving.

Verdict:

These mini puff pastry quiches are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a party appetizer. They are easy to make and can be customized with your favorite ingredients. The puff pastry shell adds a flaky and buttery texture that complements the creamy and savory filling. Serve them warm or at room temperature for a delicious and satisfying treat.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve the mini quiches with a side salad or fresh fruit for a complete meal.
• They are also great for a potluck or picnic, as they can be made ahead of time and served at room temperature.
• Top with a dollop of sour cream or salsa for an extra burst of flavor.
