How to Make Mini Spinach & Feta Quiches (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Prepare the Spinach Filling
Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Add onion (if using) and sauté until soft, about 2–3 minutes.
Add spinach and cook until wilted.
Season lightly with salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using).
Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Squeeze out any excess moisture if using fresh spinach.
Step 2: Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a mixing bowl, whisk together:
3 eggs
1/2 cup cream or milk
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: add a pinch of nutmeg for warmth
Step 3: Prepare the Puff Pastry Cups
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
Roll out puff pastry and cut into squares slightly larger than your muffin tin cups.
Press each square into the tin, letting edges slightly overhang.
Step 4: Assemble the Quiches
Evenly distribute spinach mixture into each pastry cup.
Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top.
Pour egg and cream mixture over spinach and feta, filling each cup almost to the top.
Step 5: Bake
Bake in preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, until:
Puff pastry is golden and crisp
Egg filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center
Rotate tray halfway through for even baking
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Let quiches cool for 5 minutes before removing from tin.
Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
