Title: Vegetable Quiches
Ingredients:
– 1 sheet of pre-made pie crust dough
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
– 1/2 cup broccoli florets, chopped
– 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup baby spinach leaves
– 4 large eggs
– 1/2 cup milk
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin.
2. Roll out the pie crust dough on a floured surface and using a round cutter, cut circles slightly larger than the muffin tin cavities. Gently press each circle into the muffin tin, making sure to form a small crust around the edges.
3. In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the diced bell pepper, broccoli, red onion, and garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
4. Add the spinach leaves to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
6. Spoon the vegetable mixture evenly into each muffin tin, filling them about halfway.
7. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in each muffin tin, filling almost to the brim.
8. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of each quiche.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the quiches are set and lightly golden on top.
10. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before carefully removing the quiches from the muffin tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.
