You can make these cute little individual quiches effortlessly using either a round or square muffin pan. If you’d like to add a little spice, stir in a pinch of cayenne pepper. They’re an ideal dish to incorporate onto a brunch buffet accompanied with an array of fresh fruit and a mixed greens salad. Alternatively, they’d make a great snack or side dish. Use a small food processor to grate the hazelnuts into powder. Almonds, pecans or walnuts will work in the place of the hazelnuts, if needed. Squeezing out the moisture from the vegetables is important: the muffins may not hold together if you skip this step.
