Hawaiian Quiche Filo Cups

ham

🥗Healthier: turkey ham

💰Cheaper: bacon

Turkey ham reduces calories while maintaining flavor.

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: colby jack

Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories without sacrificing texture.

filo pastry

🥗Healthier: whole wheat pastry

💰Cheaper: store-bought pie crust

Whole wheat pastry adds fiber, while pie crust is more accessible.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: evaporated milk

Almond milk is lower in calories, while evaporated milk is cost-effective.

Crack eggs into a mixing bowl.

Add a bit of salt and black pepper to the eggs.

Slice double smoked ham into small pieces.

Chop chives finely.

Layer filo pastry under a damp tea towel to prevent drying out.

Slice the filo pastry in half lengthwise and then into quarters.

Spray a 12-hole muffin tin with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.

Layer three sheets of filo pastry in each muffin hole, allowing some bits to hang over the edge.

Add a couple of pieces of canned pineapple into each muffin cup.

Sprinkle some sliced ham on top of the pineapple in each cup.

Add a sprinkle of dried oregano on top of the ham and pineapple.

Pour the egg mixture into each cup, being careful not to overfill them.

Top each cup with cheese and chopped chives.

Bake in the oven at 180°C (approximately 350°F) for 20-25 minutes until the filo pastry is crispy and the egg is set.

Allow the Hawaiian quiche filo cups to cool slightly before serving.
