Ingredients

  • Thaw a package of frozen puff pastry, approximately 17.5 ounces.
  • Whisk seven large eggs until beaten.
  • Prepare a mix of 2 cups of finely chopped fresh baby spinach.
  • Combine ⅔ cup of milk with the beaten eggs.
  • Add ½ cup of creamy ricotta cheese to the mixture.
  • Incorporate ⅓ cup of freshly shredded Parmesan cheese.
  • Sprinkle in ¼ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • Include 3 tablespoons of shredded fontina cheese.
  • Season with a touch of kosher salt, about ¼ teaspoon.
  • A hint of ground black pepper, roughly ⅛ teaspoon, will enhance the flavors.

Step 1

Begin by preheating the oven to a cozy 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) to get things started. Next, get creative and slice each puff pastry sheet into 9 charming squares, giving them a gentle roll to perfectly fit into individual 3-inch pie pans. Placing these delightful pastries in the pans, arrange them neatly on a rimmed baking sheet. To ensure a perfect crust, add a sprinkle of ceramic beads into each pan, then let them bake in the preheated oven for a quick 5 minutes.

Step 2

As the pastries start to crisp up, take this moment to prepare a delightful mixture. Whisk together a lovely blend of eggs, vibrant spinach, creamy milk, velvety ricotta cheese, flavorful Parmesan cheese, gooey mozzarella cheese, rich fontina cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper for that perfect seasoning.

Step 3

Once the crusts are pre-baked, remove the pie pans from the oven, gently taking out the ceramic beads. Now, carefully ladle the delectable egg mixture into each waiting pie tin, filling them with love and flavor. Pop them back into the oven and bake until they turn a lovely light golden brown, usually around 30 minutes. Enjoy this delicious creation fresh out of the oven!
