  • Bake the pies for 25 mins or till the top gets brown.
  • For the Paneer sauce, pulse the milk and paneer together along with Red chili flakes.

Arranging the Quiche

  • Spread a portion of the cheese on the crust.
  • Divide the spinach mixture among the pie crusts.
  • Sprinkle another portion of the cheese on it.
  • Divide and pour the milk paneer mixture on the quiches.
  • Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Finally, sprinkle the red chili flakes on top.
  • Bake on the middle rack for 20 minutes, till the top, is browned.

Removing the Quiche from the tin

  • Since the bottom is loose, gently push it from the bottom with another object.
  • Gently transfer to a serving plate.
  • Slice it up and serve tomato ketchup.

Notes

Don’t fill the crust to the rim. Leave a little gap. Otherwise, the filling will ooze out from the quiche.
Slice with a pizza cutter for an even shape.
