**Mini Party Quiches**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 package of store-bought refrigerated pie crusts
– 4 large eggs
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1/4 cup heavy cream
– 1/2 cup shredded cheese (such as cheddar or Gruyere)
– 1/4 cup diced ham or cooked bacon
– 1/4 cup finely chopped spinach
– 2 tablespoons finely chopped red bell pepper
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
**Instructions:**
1. **Preheat the Oven:** Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and greasing a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
2. **Prepare the Crust:** Roll out the refrigerated pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Using a cookie cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out circles slightly larger than the size of each muffin cup. Gently press the pie crust circles into the muffin tin, making sure they line the bottom and sides.
3. **Prepare the Filling:** In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
4. **Assemble the Quiches:** Divide the shredded cheese, diced ham or bacon, chopped spinach, and red bell pepper equally among the prepared muffin cups. Fill each cup with the egg mixture, making sure not to overfill.
5. **Bake the Quiches:** Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the quiches are set and the crust is golden brown.
6. **Serve and Enjoy:** Once baked, allow the quiches to cool slightly in the muffin tin before carefully removing them. Arrange the Mini Party Quiches on a platter and serve warm to your guests for a delightful bite-sized treat!
