Ingredients

For the Phyllo Crust:

• 15 sheets (½ package) phyllo dough

• 6 tablespoons butter, melted

• Cooking spray
  
  

For the Quiche Filling:

• 4 eggs

• ½ cup heavy cream

• Salt and pepper, to taste
  
  

Optional Add-Ins:

• ½ pound raw chorizo, cooked and crumbled

• ½ cup basil pesto (homemade or store-bought)
  
  

Instructions

Prepare the Phyllo Crust:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.

• Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a flat surface. Keep the remaining sheets covered with a damp towel to prevent drying.

• Brush the sheet lightly with melted butter. Layer another sheet on top and repeat the process until you have a stack of 5 sheets.

• Cut the stacked phyllo into 3½-inch squares or rounds. Gently press each piece into the mini muffin tin wells to form cups.

• Repeat the process to make a total of 24 phyllo cups.

• Bake the phyllo cups for 8–10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely.
  
  

Prepare the Filling:

• In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

• For chorizo quiches, place a few pieces of cooked chorizo into the bottom of each phyllo cup.

• For pesto quiches, add a small spoonful of pesto into each cup.

• Pour the egg mixture over the fillings in each cup, filling them just below the rim.
  
  

Bake the Quiches:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

• Bake the filled phyllo cups for 10–12 minutes or until the egg filling is set and slightly puffed.

• Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
  
  

Serving Suggestions
