Preparation:

Prepare Pie Crust:
- Roll out each pie crust into a 12-inch circle.
- Using a round cookie cutter, cut eight 3 to 3½-inch circles from each crust.
- Press the circles into the muffin pan cups, ensuring the crusts reach up to the rim, forming tartlet shells.
- Place the muffin pan in the freezer for 5-10 minutes to slightly firm up the crusts, which will help them hold their shape while baking.

- Bake the crusts for 6 minutes until they are set.
- Allow them to cool for about 5 minutes on wire racks.

Prepare Filling:
- Divide the shredded cheese and ham evenly among the tartlet shells.
-
Prepare Quiche Mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, beat together the milk, eggs, salt, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cheese and ham in the tartlet shells. Be cautious not to overfill.
-
Bake:
- Bake the quiches for 20 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
-
Cooling:
- Transfer the pans to wire racks and allow the quiches to cool completely before refrigerating.
- Carefully loosen the quiches from the pan using a small sharp-tipped knife.
