Mini Quiche

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I enjoy making this recipe because it offers variety in a single tray. Each set of mini quiches has its own flavor—Greek, ham and cheese, and bacon cheddar—so I never get bored.

I also appreciate how convenient they are. I can prepare them ahead of time, serve them at brunch, or grab a couple for a quick snack. They feel elegant but are actually very simple to make.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 3 pie crust rounds
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• cooking spray
• 1/2 cup cooked spinach, excess water removed and coarsely chopped
• 1/4 cup roasted red bell peppers, finely chopped
• 3 tablespoons feta cheese, crumbled
• 1 teaspoon fresh dill, minced
• 1/4 cup ham, diced
• 1/3 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
• 1/4 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1/3 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced

Directions

I start by preheating the oven to 375°F and coating a 24-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray.

I roll out the pie crusts on a flat surface and use a 3-inch cookie cutter to cut out 24 circles. Then I gently press each circle into the muffin tin cups.

In a medium bowl, I whisk together the eggs, cream, salt, and pepper until smooth.

For the Greek-style quiches, I divide the spinach, roasted red peppers, feta cheese, and dill evenly among 8 muffin cups.

For the ham and cheese version, I add ham, Swiss cheese, and parsley into another 8 cups.

For the bacon version, I fill the remaining 8 cups with bacon, cheddar cheese, and green onions.

I pour the egg mixture into each cup until it is about three-quarters full.

Finally, I bake them for 20–25 minutes until the tops are set and lightly browned. I use a spatula to carefully lift them out and serve them warm.

Servings and Timing

This recipe makes 24 mini quiches.

I usually need about 50 minutes total, including prep and baking time.

Variations

I like switching up the fillings depending on what I have available. Mushrooms, caramelized onions, or tomatoes work really well.

I sometimes make a vegetarian batch by skipping the meat and adding more vegetables and cheeses. I can also experiment with different herbs like basil or thyme for a fresh twist.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftover mini quiches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

To reheat, I warm them in the oven at a low temperature or use the microwave for a quicker option. When I want to keep the texture crisp, I prefer reheating them in the oven.

I can also freeze them for up to 2 months and reheat directly from frozen in the oven.

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, I often prepare them in advance and store them in the fridge. I reheat them just before serving.

Do I need to pre-bake the crust?

No, I place the raw crust directly into the muffin tin and bake it with the filling.

Can I make these crustless?

Yes, I can skip the pie crust and pour the filling directly into the greased muffin tin for a lighter option.

How do I keep the quiche from sticking?

I make sure to coat the muffin tin well with cooking spray and let the quiches cool slightly before removing them.

Can I use milk instead of cream?

Yes, I can use milk, but I find that cream gives a richer and smoother texture.

Conclusion

These Mini Quiches are simple, versatile, and full of flavor. I love how easy it is to customize each batch, making them perfect for brunch, parties, or meal prep.
