The Essential Ingredient Checklist (The Foundation of Flavor!)

To achieve that beautiful, golden-brown perfection, you’ll need these core ingredients. Feel free to customize the fillings later!

For the Perfect Crust (The Flaky Base)

1 Sheet (approx. 10 oz / 280g) of Frozen Puff Pastry, thawed according to package directions. The secret to a flaky crust!
1 tbsp All-Purpose Flour (for dusting)
1 tsp Olive Oil or Butter (for greasing the muffin tin)

For the Creamy Filling (The Heart of the Quiche)

2 Large Eggs (Room temperature works best!)
1/2 cup Heavy Cream (or Half-and-Half for a lighter option)
1/4 cup Milk (Whole or 2%)
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
Pinch of Nutmeg (optional, but adds a professional, warming touch!)
1 cup Shredded Cheese (A blend of Gruyère and Cheddar or Mozzarella is divine!)

For the Classic Topping & Garnish (The Final Touch)

2 tbsp Chopped Fresh Chives or Green Onions (for that bright green color and oniony bite!)
Extra Cheese (for a gorgeous, bubbly top layer, like in the picture!)

Pro Tip: Thawing Puff Pastry

Take the puff pastry out of the freezer and let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight, or on the counter for about 40 minutes. It needs to be cold enough to handle but pliable enough to roll! DO NOT let it get too warm, or it will be sticky and lose its flakiness!
