Ingredients
Crust
- 2 sheets ready-made pie dough Preferably refrigerated crusts for convenience.

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven and lightly flour the counter.
- Roll out the pie dough sheets to smooth any folds and use a round cutter to make discs.
- Press the discs into the wells of a standard muffin tin to form cups.
- Trim excess dough if needed and blind-bake for 5 minutes to prevent sogginess, if time allows.
Making the Filling
- Sauté diced onion in a tiny pat of butter until translucent.
- Add chopped spinach to the pan briefly to wilt it.
- Mix in the diced ham and grated cheddar cheese last.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the milk and cream, seasoning with salt and pepper.
Assembly and Baking
- Spoon the filling mixture into each lined cup, filling about two-thirds full.
- Top with the egg-and-dairy custard until just full.
- Gently tap the pan to even out the mixture, then bake until centers are set and tops are golden.
- Allow to rest for a few minutes before removing from the muffin tin.
Notes
These mini quiches keep well in the fridge for three days and can be reheated in a 325°F oven for about 8–10 minutes. For freezing, wrap individually. Consider using different fillings or shaping the crusts for holidays.
