Instructions

Preheat the oven. Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the quiches.
Sauté vegetables. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and bell pepper and cook for 5 minutes until softened.
Add spinach and cook. Stir in the chopped spinach and continue cooking for 2 more minutes until wilted. Remove the pan from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Mix eggs and seasoning. In a mixing bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Combine vegetables and cheese. Stir the sautéed vegetables and shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture, blending everything thoroughly.
Prepare crusts. Roll out the pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Cut out circles about 3 inches in diameter and press each into a greased muffin tin cup to form little crust shells.
Fill crusts. Pour the egg-vegetable mixture into each crust, filling them about three-quarters full.
Bake the quiches. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the quiches are set and golden around the edges.
Cool and serve. Allow the quiches to cool slightly before removing from the tin. Serve warm or at room temperature for a tasty snack.

Notes

You can swap out vegetables based on preference or seasonality, such as mushrooms or zucchini.
Using a variety of cheeses like feta or mozzarella can change the flavor profile.
For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free pie crusts.
These quiches can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
Make sure not to overfill the crusts to avoid spilling during baking.
