BILTONG & CHEESE MINI QUICHE

🧂 Ingredients

  • Iroll puff pastry, thawed
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk or cream (cream = richer texture)
  • 4 cup cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or gouda - grated)
  • ½ cup biltong, finely chopped or shredded
  • ½ cup mushrooms, sliced
  • ½ cup red and yellow peppers, diced
  • Handful of spinach
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: chopped chives, onion, or a pinch of paprika

🧑‍🍳 Recipe Steps:

  1. Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Lightly grease a muffin tray.
  2. Roll out the puff pastry slightly and cut circles large enough to line each muffin cup.
  3. Press into the cups, letting the pastry come just above the rim. Prick the base lightly with a fork.
  4. Prepare the filling: Cut the biltong, mushrooms, peppers and spinach.
  5. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk (or cream), salt, and pepper.
  6. Add the fillings evenly inside each cup (vegetables, grated cheese, chopped biltong).
  7. Sprinkle a little extra cheese on top if you like a golden crust.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the filling is set and tops are golden brown.
  9. Cool slightly before removing from the tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.
