These cute crispy and flavourful savoury egg cups are delightful – we hope you enjoy this simple mini quiche recipe!
You could call it savoury egg cups or savoury muffins, but we prefer mini quiche. The great thing about this mini quiche recipe is that the pastry of the quiche is replaced with Figo Spring Roll pastry, saving you time and effort (it can be ready in under 40 minutes!).
This is a creative way to use Figo Spring Roll pastry (the usual way is to wrap spring rolls or samosas). It is a fusion of eastern and western flavours, and will definitely charm your children, especially with the combination of chicken ham, shredded cheddar or parmesan cheese, milk, eggs, button mushroom and onions.
If you have leftovers, keep in a covered container in the fridge, and reheat for 10 minutes in the oven and the pastry layers will turn crispy again.
