Ingredients
Scale
1 package (15 count) frozen mini phyllo pastry shells
6 large eggs
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
1/2 cup cooked, crumbled bacon (for Quiche Lorraine style)
1/2 cup fresh spinach, chopped (for Spinach and Feta style)
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (for Spinach and Feta style)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Arrange the frozen phyllo shells on a baking sheet.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
Prepare two variations: For the Quiche Lorraine style, divide the Gruyère cheese and crumbled bacon evenly among half of the phyllo cups. For the Spinach and Feta style, divide the remaining Gruyère, chopped spinach, and feta cheese evenly among the other half of the cups.
Carefully pour the egg mixture over the fillings in each cup, filling them about three-quarters full. Do not overfill.
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the egg filling is set and lightly golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the mini quiches cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving. These are excellent served warm or at room temperature for party food ideas.
Notes
You can prepare the fillings (bacon, spinach) a day ahead to speed up assembly time.
For a garden tea party, these pair well with fresh fruit and small sandwiches.
If you do not have phyllo shells, you can use a mini muffin tin lined with pie crust dough, though the baking time may vary slightly.
