Ingredients

For the pastry:
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 3-4 tablespoons ice water
For the filling:
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped spinach
  • 1/2 cup diced ham
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Equipment

  • 12-cup muffin tin
  • Rolling pin
  • Pastry cutter or fork
  • Whisk
  • Bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. 2. In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. 3. Add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the mixture forms a dough. 4. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/8-inch thickness. 5. Using a 3-inch round cutter, cut out circles of dough. 6. Press the circles into the muffin tin cups, trimming any excess dough. 7. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, salt, and pepper until well combined. 8. Add chopped spinach, diced ham, and shredded cheddar cheese to the egg mixture and stir until evenly distributed. 9. Pour the egg mixture into the muffin tin cups, filling each one about 3/4 full. 10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the quiches are set and the crust is golden brown. 11. Let the mini quiches cool for a few minutes before removing them from the muffin tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes
