Mini Spinach and Cheddar Quiche
(from myrecipes.com)
Ingredients (yields 24 mini-quiches)
1/2 tbsp. unsalted butter
1/3 medium onion, finely chopped
1/2 clove garlic, minced
3 oz. frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cups milk
Salt and pepper
One 9-inch unbaked pie shell
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
On a skillet, melt the butter on medium heat, and saute the onions until translucent. Add in the garlic and saute another minute or so. Transfer into a small bowl, and allow to cool.
Make sure your spinach is chopped finely. Mix spinach with cheese, and onion mixture in a medium sized bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and milk together. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Roll out the pie crust, and using a small cup, cut out 2 1/2 inch circles. Place circles of dough into the bottoms of a miniature muffin tin.
Fill each tin halfway with spinach and cheese mixture. Pour about a tablespoon of egg mixture over the spinach and cheese (don’t overflow).
Place in oven, and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until set and browned. Allow to cool before removing from tins.
