Ingredients
  

1 package (1 rolled) puff pastry, thawed

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 cup mushrooms, sliced (any variety)

2 cups fresh spinach, chopped

3 large eggs

1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

Salt and black pepper to taste

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the Puff Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into squares that will fit your muffin tin (around 4x4 inches). Place each square into a greased muffin tin to form cups.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and heat until shimmering. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes until they are soft and browned. Add the chopped spinach and continue cooking until wilted, around 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

        Make the Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, garlic powder, nutmeg (if using), and a pinch of salt and black pepper until well combined.

          Combine Ingredients: Stir the sautéed vegetables into the egg mixture. Gently fold in the shredded cheese until evenly distributed.

            Fill the Cups: Pour the mixture evenly into the puff pastry cups, filling them about three-quarters full to allow for puffing.

              Bake the Quiche Cups: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg mixture is set and the tops are golden brown.

                Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before carefully removing the quiche cups from the tin. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

                  Enjoy! Serve warm as a delightful breakfast, brunch, or snack!
