"Mini quiches are a little extra work, but they’re perfect for a passed hors d’ouevre or an elevated brunch buffet. This recipe calls for frozen puff-pastry sheets, which lowers the fuss factor. What to buy: Look for an all-butter frozen puff pastry, such as Dufour. Special equipment: You’ll need four 12-cup or two 24-cup mini muffin pans for this recipe...."
