- Preheat oven to 200°C, grease a 12 hollow muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
- Place the McCain Mediterranean Roast Vegetables in a roasting tray, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Roast the vegetables for 20 - 25 minutes until cooked and lightly coloured, allow to cool slightly and cut into bite sized pieces.
- Meanwhile for the base; mix the breadcrumbs, mixed herbs and melted butter in a mixing bowl, spoon 20 ml each of the breadcrumb mixture into the muffin tin and press down with the back of a spoon gently to cover the bottom.
- In a measuring jug, whisk the eggs and milk together and season.
- Add the cherry tomatoes to the roast vegetables and mix, spoon the mixture into the muffin tin then cover each one with enough egg mixture to cover.
- Top the quiches with grated cheese and bake for 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden and the eggs are set.
- Allow the quiches to cool in the tin slightly before turning out onto a wire rack and allow to cool completely. Store in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
