Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Puff pastry
- 6 large Eggs
- 150 grams Diced ham
- 100 grams Shredded cheddar cheese
- 50 milliliters Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 6-cup muffin tin with butter to prevent sticking.
Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it into 6 squares of equal size.
Gently press each puff pastry square into the muffin tin cavities, allowing any excess pastry to hang over the edges.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Evenly distribute the diced ham and shredded cheddar cheese into each pastry-lined muffin cup.
Pour the egg mixture over the ham and cheese in each cup, filling about 3/4 full (do not overfill to avoid spillage).
Sprinkle the chopped green onions over the top of each pie for added flavor and color.
Fold any excess pastry edges over the filling to create a rustic crust edge.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg mixture is set and the pastry is golden brown.
Allow the pies to cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
Serve warm, or let cool completely to enjoy later. These pies can also be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
