Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Shortcrust pastry
- 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg, freshly grated
- 1 tablespoon Butter or baking spray
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with butter or baking spray.
Roll out the shortcrust pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into 12 circles, each large enough to line the cups of the muffin tin.
Press each pastry circle into a muffin cup, ensuring the pastry extends slightly above the edge of each cup.
Evenly distribute the shredded Swiss cheese among the pastry-lined muffin cups.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg until smooth.
Pour the egg mixture into the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 of the way to allow for expansion during baking.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the quiches are set and the tops are golden brown.
Allow the quiches to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them with a small spatula or knife.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Mini Swiss Cheese Quiche!
