Equipment

Oven

Ingredients

3 puff pastry sheets thawed
125 g corn kernels tinned, drained
75 g ham finely chopped
2 spring onions trimmed, thinly sliced
7 eggs extra large, lightly whisked (See notes)
35 g (½ cup) cheddar cheese, coarsely grated

Instructions

Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius (fan-forced).
Grease a 12-hole ⅓ cup capacity muffin tin and set aside until needed.
Using a ramekin or scone cutter, cut four 10cm circles from each sheet of pastry to make a total of 12 circles.
Line each of the muffin holes with one pastry circle, crinkling the pastry to fit.
Divide the corn, chopped ham and sliced spring onion equally between the muffin holes.
Pour the lightly whisked egg over the fillings.
Sprinkle the grated cheese over the top of each muffin hole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until puffed and golden.
Leave in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before eating them while warm.
If you are going to store (or freeze) the quiches after baking, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Recipe Notes and Tips

Oven temperature - if you have a conventional oven, increase the temperature by between 10 and 20 degrees Celsius.

Frozen or tinned - you can substitute frozen corn kernels for the tinned corn kernels, however I recommend that you bring them to room temperature first.

Spring onions - are also known as green onions or scallions in some parts of the world. There is a subtle difference between them, and spring onions are completely different to shallots which they are sometime confused with.

Size of eggs - I recommend extra-large eggs, which weigh about 60g each, for this recipe. If using smaller eggs, use 1 more than in the recipe.

Storing - Corn, Ham and Cheese Quiches are best stored in an airtight container in the fridge, for up to 2 days. They can be frozen if desired, in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
