Mini Spinach and Cheese Quiche Recipe

This Mini Spinach and Cheese Recipe is perfect for your next party, great in the kids lunch boxes and it also makes a great snack!

I decided to make this Mini Spinach and Cheese Quiche recipe a few weeks ago when I had some friends over to watch the Royal Wedding.  They were a big hit (as were the Mojitos!) and we had eaten them all by the end of the night.  They took no time at all to put together earlier that afternoon (well apart from having to keep my little helpers away!) however you can also make them in advance and then store in the freezer until needed.

I know there are people out there who were over all of the talk and coverage of the Royal Wedding however for my friends and I, it was the perfect excuse to catch up and have a girls night in.  To mark the special occasion, I pulled out our ‘good’ glasses and plates etc (which are normally hidden away from little hands!) and I also used this gorgeous platter from the Royal Botanic Gardens of Victoria Collection by Maxwell Williams.

This recipe is based on my Mini Ham and Cheese Quiche recipe however I used puff pastry instead (only as that was all I had!) and I baked these Spinach and Cheese Quiches in a bigger muffin tin this time too.  When it comes to the filling, you can use whatever cheeses you like. I went with Feta, Tasty and Parmesan Cheese and I think that it’s a combination that’s pretty hard to beat.
