# How-To:
01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 12-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
02 - Roll out the pie crust and cut into 12 circles approximately 2.5 inches in diameter. Press each circle firmly into a muffin cup to form mini crusts.
03 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper. Stir in shredded Swiss cheese, chopped spinach, quartered cherry tomatoes, diced red bell pepper, and fresh chives until well combined.
04 - Distribute the egg mixture evenly among the prepared mini crusts, filling each approximately three-quarters full.
05 - Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until puffed and golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing from the muffin tin.
06 - While quiches bake, wash, peel, and prepare all fruit. Arrange attractively in individual bowls or directly onto a large serving board.
07 - Slice brie and sharp cheddar, then arrange on the serving board with crumbled goat cheese, assorted nuts, dried apricots, and assorted crackers.
08 - Position mini croissants and pastries on the board. Place fruit preserves or honey in a small serving dish and add to the board.
09 - Place cooled mini quiches on the board and garnish with additional fresh chives if desired.
10 - Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving. Present the assembled board to guests.
