Ingredients:

CRUST

• 80g water

• 70g Canola oil

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 250g flour

• salt to taste

FILLING

• 3 eggs

• 1/2 cup of sour cream (use the same amount of milk or greek yogurt for a healthier option)

• 12 Tbsp of shredded mozzarella cheese

• 4 slices of ham (shredded or one thick slice cut into small cubes) *

Method:

1. Combine water, oil and salt into a bowl and stir the mix quickly with a wooden spoon;

2. Add in flour and baking powder little by little while stirring until a dough starts forming;

3. Transfer your dough onto a floured surface and keep working it with your hands until it doesn't stick to them. Your dough is ready! Spread it with the help of a rolling pin than use your flower-shaped* cookie cutter or just a round glass to cut out 12 disks;

4. Place your disks into a greased muffin tin;

5. In a bowl beat the eggs with sour cream quickly;

6. Fill each crust with a spoon of cheese and some ham or your favorite veggies**, then top it up with the beaten eggs;

7. Cook at 180 Celsius for around 30 minutes or until golden.

* For a Christmas look try using a star shaped cookie cutter!

** If you're looking for a healthier meat-free option: replace your ham with one shredded courgette or a cup of baby spinach. You can add your veggies directly into your quiche cups and pop them in the oven. But I do suggest pre-cooking any veggie in a pan with a dash of olive oil until they release no more water. This will ensure your crust strays crunchy.
