Ingredients
- 1 sheet pre-made pie crust
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup half-and-half
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup chopped cherry tomatoes
- 1/4 cup diced zucchini
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp salt
- pinch black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pre-made pie crust on a lightly floured surface, then cut into 2-inch circles using a cookie cutter or glass.
- Step 2: Press each circle into a muffin tin, trimming excess. Whisk together 3 large eggs, 1/2 cup half-and-half, 1/4 tsp salt, and a pinch of black pepper in a bowl until smooth.
- Step 3: Divide 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly among the crusts, then pour the egg mixture over until 3/4 full. Top each with 1/4 cup diced bell peppers, 1/4 cup chopped cherry tomatoes, and 1/4 cup diced zucchini.
- Step 4: Bake for 22-25 minutes until the centers are set and edges are golden brown, rotating the pan halfway through for even browning.
