Messy cheese pies

These little quiches are a big hit with my kids because the flaky (messy) pastry appeals to their taste buds and sense of chaos. I like them because you can hide egg, corn and other yellowish vegetables (pureed pumpkin, carrot, yellow zucchini etc)

Ingredients

  • 2 frozen puff pastry

  • 4 eggs

  • 1 cup milk

  • 1 cup cooked chicken

    chopped

Instructions

  1. Place pastry sheets on a work surface to defrost for 10 minutes. Preheat oven to 180°C.
  2. Select a 24 small hole cup cake pan or 2 x 12 hole pan. Cut 12 holes from each pastry sheet with a scone cutter that is slightly larger than the holes. Carefully push pastry circles into pan (no need to grease).
  3. Divide chicken, corn and cheese between pastry cases. Whisk eggs and milk together in a jug, pour into pastry cases to just below the top.
  4. Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden.

Notes

You can hide other yellowish vegetables like pureed pumpkin, carrot, or yellow zucchini in these pies.
Storage
Freeze for emergency dining purposes or keep in the fridge for a few days. Reheat in the oven to make sure the pastry is crisp. Do not microwave.
