# How to Make It:

04 - Distribute selected filling ingredients evenly among pastry shells, avoiding overfilling.
05 - Pour the egg mixture over fillings, filling each shell approximately three-quarters full.
06 - Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes until puffed and golden. Remove and cool for 5 minutes before carefully unmolding.
07 - Place the mini quiches on a large serving board, forming clusters resembling houses and use rosemary sprigs to simulate trees.
08 - Enhance the display with mozzarella balls as snow, pomegranate seeds, crackers, olives, and small vegetables for a festive presentation.
