Mini Quiche Recipe (Muffin Tin)
A classic mini quiche recipe that is wow-worthy and delicious! These adorable breakfast bites are made with a crispy pie crust and a silky smooth egg filling. Load these quiches up with your favorite toppings; get as creative as you want!
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust (half the recipe)
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup half and half
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
- 1 cup breakfast meat cooked (ham, bacon or sausage)
- 1 cup shredded cheese divided
- 2 green onions or fresh herbs chopped
Instructions
- Roll out the pie crust. Use a 4-inch round cookie cutter (or measuring cup) to cut circles.
- Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with the butter or cooking spray.
- Place dough circles into the muffin tin. Gently press the sides and bottom of each cup, and prick the dough with a fork.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, salt, and pepper. Divide equally between the 12 tins.
- Distribute the meat and cheese between each tin.
- Bake the quiches at 375°F for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the centers are set and the edges are starting to brown.
- Allow the quiches to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes.
Notes
- Be careful not to overfill the mini quiche cups. Because they’re smaller, overfilling can cause the quiche to stay soft in the center.
- Prep in advance. For easy prep, line the muffin tin with pie crust the night before and refrigerate until ready to assemble and bake.
- Easy storage and reheating. Store leftover quiches tightly wrapped and in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for a crispy leftover quiche.
- Get creative with fillings. Switch out the toppings for whatever you’d like! We love the classic breakfast meat combo, but you can also make a veggie version, loaded with mushrooms, bell peppers, and spinach. Or keep it simple with a cheesy medley; the options are endless.
- Pie crust alternatives. Though a homemade pie crust takes this breakfast to the next level, it’s not 100% necessary. Use a store-bought pie crust for a quick assembly, or even phyllo cups!
