Instructions

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).

Prepare the muffin tin

Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with butter or non-stick spray.

Cut the pastry

Roll out the pastry dough and cut into 12 circles to fit the muffin cups.

Pro tip: Use a glass or cookie cutter for uniform circles.

Place the pastry

Gently press each pastry circle into the muffin cups, ensuring there are no air bubbles.

Mix the filling

In a bowl, combine beaten eggs, milk, cheese, bell pepper, spinach, salt, and pepper.

Pro tip: Ensure the mixture is well combined for even flavour.

Fill the cups

Pour the filling into each pastry-lined cup, filling about 3/4 full.

Pro tip: Avoid overfilling to prevent overflow during baking.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the quiches are set and slightly golden.

Pro tip: A toothpick inserted into the centre should come out clean.

Cool slightly

Remove from the oven and let cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack.
