Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 12-cup mini muffin tin with a spritz of oil spray.
Roll out the gluten-free pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Use a round cookie cutter (approximately 2.5 inches in diameter) to cut out 12 circles of dough. Press each circle gently into a cup of the muffin tin to form the base of the quiche bites.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, grated ginger, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheddar cheese and chopped scallions into each crust-lined muffin cup.
Carefully pour the egg mixture into each cup, filling them just below the rim.
Add an extra pinch of smoked paprika on top of each quiche for added flavor and presentation.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg mixture is set and the tops are lightly golden.
Remove the quiche bites from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes in the pan.
Use a small spatula or butter knife to carefully remove each quiche bite from the muffin tin.
Serve warm, or let them cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving if desired.
