    I do a recipe in muffin trays too. But I don't use any pastry, I use slices of ham instead. Place a slice (or half a slice depending on the size of the ham), in each greased muffin hole. Beat 2-3 eggs in a bowl, add a dash of milk and any other fillings you like. I usually put corn, sliced shallots (spring onions). Pour egg mix in each muffin hole and top with half a cherry tomato. Bake until nice and brown and set. Note you don't need any salt due to the ham - you can add cracked pepper if you like.

    I do puff pastry deal too. I line my muffin tray with oil and then pop puff pastry in. I mix 6 or so eggs whisked together with a dribble of water and a spoonful of self raising flour. I mix half a frozen spinach container, and 2 slices of ham, I try to get more veges in so sometimes I put 1/4 cup of pureed vege in as well, pop a bit of salt & pepper in. I serve them with a tomato sauce happy face on top for the kids and I do a slice of tomato on top of the adult ones.

    Yummo! I may have to make some today... our new chooks are laying like there is no tomorrow and I have no space to store the eggs.

    I make them in mini muffin trays, I cut each slice of puff pastry into 9 squares, or I cut in rounds using a tupperware cutter. I use tinned corn, kraft block cheese (the stuff you get thats not in the cold section... I only use this cheese for 2 recipes as I am not a fan of processed cheese but I just can't get the same taste with fresh cheese!) chives/spring onion, cream, milk and egg. I'll find my exact recipe if you're interested. You can add diced bacon if you like. I also freeze them for DD for school and she loves them!

    Question

    Oh, thanks everyone ... i think i used all your ideas combined into one tonight

    I made mini quiches & regular size muffin sizes with puff pastry ... some circles & some squares. I used the 6 eggs with a dash of milk. And added the cheese, capsicum, onion, & left over roast chicken (shredded) ... and cracked pepper. Oven at 180. Reckon the ham or bacon would be tastier

    They came out brilliant !!!

    Thanks " Alan " for the bread idea !!!!!!!!!!!

    *** CAN THEY BE FROZEN THE MINI QUICHES ???? ... and WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO HEAT THEM UP AFTER ?? (I'm guessing the microwave will make them soggy)

    I know this is a tad late but I was watching "Ready, Steady Cook" recently and it was suggested for a quick quiche to crush some SAO biscuits into the egg mixture and while it cooks the biscuits sink to the bottom and form the crust. I haven't tried it yet but sounds like a good idea for a quick meal.

    Yep they can definitely be frozen. I just defrost them in the fridge or on the bench then reheat in the oven.
