Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out puff pastry sheet and cut into 6 equal squares. Press each square into a mini muffin tin, creating a shallow cup.
  2. Step 2: Whisk together 3 whole eggs, 1/2 cup heavy cream, and 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Cut asparagus spears into 1/2-inch pieces, slice zucchini into thin rounds, and dice red bell pepper into tiny squares.
  4. Step 4: Pour the egg mixture into each pastry cup, filling about 3/4 full. Arrange asparagus pieces on top of each quiche in a star pattern, followed by 2 zucchini rounds and 1 red bell pepper square to create a 'stamp' design.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 20-22 minutes until the quiches are puffed, golden, and the center is set when gently shaken.
