Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Mini Quiche
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease your muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Unroll the refrigerated pie crusts, cut out circles, and press them into the muffin cups. Chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and half-and-half until smooth. Add salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
  4. Fold in the gruyère cheese, bacon, spinach, and chives into the egg mixture.
  5. Pour the filling into each crust until three-quarters full and sprinkle some cheese on top.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and slightly puffed. Check for a gentle jiggle.
  7. Cool for 5-10 minutes before removing from the tin and serving warm or at room temperature.
