Instructions:

In a small mixing bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese until smooth and well combined.

Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the creamed mixture, beating until fully incorporated and a dough forms.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease miniature muffin cups with cooking spray.

Take each chilled dough ball and press it onto the bottom and up the sides of the greased muffin cups to form small tart shells.

In another bowl, beat the eggs together with the cream, salt, and pepper until well blended.
-

Bake the mini quiches in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crusts are golden brown and the filling is set.

Remove the quiches from the oven and let them stand for 5 minutes before carefully removing them from the muffin cups.
