Let’s Make it together

Prepare Your Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin lightly with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Assemble the Crusts: Roll out your pie crusts and cut them into circles that fit snugly into each muffin cup. Gently press them down—this is their cozy little home.

Mix the Filling: In a bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until frothy. Add salt and pepper for seasoning. This mixture should be light and airy—think clouds!

Add Veggies and Cheese: Fold in your diced vegetables and shredded cheese into the egg mix gently. Use a spatula here—don’t overmix! The goal is to keep it light.

Fill the Muffin Cups: Pour the egg mixture into each prepared crust until they’re about three-quarters full. You want them to puff up beautifully without spilling over.

Bake to Perfection: Place your muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown on top and set in the middle. They’ll puff up like tiny masterpieces!

Serve warm or at room temperature—these delightful Mother’s Day Mini Quiches are best enjoyed surrounded by loved ones! light and refreshing salad.
