Pumpkin and Cherry Tomato Mini Quiches

Makes: 36

Ingredients:

• 3 sheets frozen shortcrust pastry, defrosted
• 100g pumpkin, finely diced
• 1 punnet cherry tomatoes, diced
• 1 cup grated cheese
• 3/4 cup wholemeal plain flour
• 6 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk

 

Method:

• Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius
• Place all the ingredients except eggs and milk into a large mixing bowl and mix well
• In a separate mixing bowl crack all the eggs and add the milk and salt & pepper to taste whisking lightly until all combined then pour into the filling mix and stir well until well combined
• Use a round cookie cutter (or egg ring) to cut circles in the pastry, do not throw out un-used pastry, this will be reused. To re-use the discarded pastry knead it together and roll it out to the same thickness as the original sheets and continue to cut your pastry discs
• Spray the mini quiche tin well with rice bran oil spray, place the pastry disc into each well. Add in a tablespoon of the filling mix into the well until it’s just below the pastry level. Make sure your regularly stirring the filling mix as the heavier filling will sink to the bottom of the bowl
• Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown on top.
