How do I know when my Mini Spinach Quiches are fully cooked?
To check if your Mini Spinach Quiches are fully cooked, look for the egg mixture to be set and firm. They should be lightly golden on top and not jiggly in the center. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. Baking them at 180°C for about 15 minutes usually ensures they are perfectly cooked.
Can I use other vegetables in my Mini Spinach Quiches?
Absolutely! Mini Spinach Quiches are versatile, and you can substitute or add other vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or zucchini. Just make sure to sauté them first to remove excess moisture, similar to how you prepare the spinach and onion, to prevent a soggy quiche.
