Mini Walnut, Spinach and Chicken Quiches
1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
Place shells on a lined baking tray.
3
Grate Emmental Swiss cheese.
4
Combine eggs, goat and Romano cheeses, milk, nutmeg, white pepper and basil in blender or food processor.
5
Divide the chicken and grated cheese evenly among tarts followed by a spinach leaf, green onion and a walnut half. Spoon egg mixture over the filling to cover. Stop before you reach the lip of the crust so they don’t boil over during baking.
6
Bake for 20-30 minutes or until tops are lightly browned.
