Cut out circles about 1 inch(2.5cm) larger than tart shells or quiche moulds. By pressing down, fit the circle into the greased quiche mould. Continue to fit the dough in moulds. Then trim the edges with a sharp knife. Now cover the prepared moulds with a Cling wrap & refrigerate for a minimum of 30 min.
Remove the prepared moulds from the refrigerator. Sprinkle a little of cornflour in the bottom of each pastry shell & distribute with a brush. For each pastry add the grated processed cheese first on the bottom. Then fill 2 tbsp of prepared egg & spinach mixture into each pastry shell.
