Make these small, elegant spinach and feta mini quiches for your next brunch board. This recipe uses a simple method to keep the crust crisp.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (14.1 ounces) refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts total)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 12-cup standard muffin tin.
  2. Roll out both pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Use a 3.5-inch round cutter to cut circles from the dough. You should get about 6 to 7 circles per crust.
  3. Gently press the dough circles into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared muffin cups. Prick the bottom of each crust several times with a fork. This step helps prevent a soggy crust.
  4. Brush the inside bottom of each pastry shell lightly with the melted butter.
  5. Divide the chopped spinach evenly among the crusts. Sprinkle the feta cheese over the spinach in each cup.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, eggs, salt, and pepper until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the spinach and feta, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
  8. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust edges are golden brown.
  9. Let the mini quiches cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them to a wire rack to cool completely. These are great served warm or at room temperature for your mothers day brunch.

Notes

  • To ensure a crisp bottom crust, after pricking the dough, you can bake the empty shells (blind bake) for 5 minutes before adding the filling.
  • If you prefer a crustless quiche bites texture, omit the pie crusts and use silicone muffin liners filled only with the spinach, feta, and egg mixture.
  • Use fresh, well-drained spinach; excess moisture will soften the crust.
