Ingredients
Basic Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon or diced ham
- 1/4 cup finely chopped spinach or green onions
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Optional
- 1 refrigerated pie crust (optional for crust version)
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray to ensure easy removal of the mini quiches.
- Prepare Crust (Optional): If using the pie crust, cut it into circles to fit the muffin cups and press each circle into the bottom of each cup to form a crust base.
- Mix Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and smooth.
- Assemble Fillings: Evenly divide the shredded cheddar cheese, cooked bacon or ham, and chopped spinach or green onions among the muffin cups, placing them on top of the crust if using.
- Add Egg Mixture: Pour the egg mixture over the fillings in each muffin cup, filling about 3/4 full to allow room for rising during baking.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the centers are fully set and the tops are lightly golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the mini quiches to cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the tin. Serve warm or at room temperature for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Customize your mini quiches by adding favorite mix-ins such as mushrooms, bell peppers, or a variety of cheeses to suit your taste preferences.
- These mini quiches freeze well. Let them cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the freezer. Reheat in the oven or microwave as needed for a quick meal.
