Ingredients

1 c diced cooked ham
1 1/2 c Gruyère shredded
1 cup chopped fresh spinach
1 green onion, sliced
6 eggs
1/3 c whole milk
2/3 cup heavy cream
1/4 tsp garlic
1/2 tsp cracked pepper salt
½ tsp sea salt
Pinch of nutmeg
2 sheets puff pastry, thawed (17.3 oz. package)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Mix the ham, shredded cheese, spinach and onion together in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, cream, milk, salt, pepper, garlic and nutmeg well until smooth and creamy.
On a flour dusted surface, unfold the puff pastry and roll out to about 14 inches x 12 inches. Cut into 12 even pieces and press each piece into 2 oil sprayed muffin tins (spray well). If you only have one muffin tin, work in batches.
Spoon the ham, cheese and spinach mixture into each puff pastry cup, about 1 tablespoon and then pour egg mixture into each cup as well evenly. Bake for about 17-20 minutes or until puff pastry is golden, eggs are puffy and a toothpick comes out clean when testing.
Cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

Don't stress over cutting the puff pastry perfectly. It is super simple to press and adjust the puff pastry dough in the muffin pan so if they are not perfectly even, there is plenty of wiggle room.
You can use an egg wash if desired, but it is not necessary. Some love a good egg wash on their puff pastry. Not needed in this recipe but can still be used if desired.
Whisk and whisk and whisk. The key to any successful quiche is to make sure the cream and eggs are thoroughly whipped together. It is suggested that the eggs are whisked for about 3 minutes and then add the milk and cream and whisk a few more minutes.
