Individual Spinach-Ricotta Puff Pastry Quiches

Designing a healthy menu starts with taking a look at your existing menu and pinpointing where you could stand to make some adjustments.

Recipe Summary Individual Spinach-Ricotta Puff Pastry Quiches

Quiche are the perfect option for the brunch menu, especially when they're made to serve one.

Ingredients | Healthy Menu Options

1 (17.5 ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed

7 large eggs, beaten

2 cups chopped fresh baby spinach

⅔ cup milk

½ cup ricotta cheese

⅓ cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese

¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

3 tablespoons shredded fontina cheese

¼ teaspoon kosher salt

⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Cut each puff pastry sheet into 9 squares. Roll each square to fit individual 3-inch pie pans. Set puff pastry inside pie pans and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Pour a small amount of ceramic beads into each pie pan.

Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, whip together eggs, spinach, milk, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, fontina cheese, salt, and pepper.

Remove pie pans from the oven and remove the ceramic beads. Ladle egg mixture into each pie tin. Bake until light golden brown, about 30 minutes.

I use ceramic beads when parbaking pastry. Hard beans may be used but they often stick to the dough.

Feel free to bake1 quiche in a regular pie pan, if you wish.
