Instructions

Preheat and prepare

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with butter or non-stick spray.

Pro tip: Ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking for even cooking.

Cut the pastry

Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 8 equal squares.

Pro tip: Use a pizza cutter for quick and easy cutting.

Fit pastry into tins

Gently press each square of pastry into the muffin cups, ensuring the edges are slightly above the rim.

Pro tip: Avoid stretching the pastry to prevent shrinkage during baking.

Prepare the egg mixture

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Pro tip: For a creamier texture, substitute half the milk with cream.

Add fillings

Divide fillings into four groups: bacon and cheddar, spinach and feta, mushrooms and onions, and bell pepper. Fill each pastry cup with about 2 tablespoons of chosen filling.

Pro tip: Mix and match fillings for variety in each quiche.

Pour the egg mixture

Carefully pour the egg mixture over the fillings in each pastry cup, filling to just below the pastry edge.

Pro tip: Use a measuring cup with a spout for easy pouring.

Bake the quiches

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg is set and the tops are golden brown.

Pro tip: Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.

Cool and serve

Allow quiches to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Carefully remove and let rest on a wire rack for another 5 minutes before serving.

Pro tip: Use a small knife to loosen any stuck edges before removing from the tin.
