Mini Quiches are delightful bite-sized savory pies made with a flaky pie crust filled with a creamy mixture of eggs, cheese, vegetables, and optional bacon or sausage. Perfect as a brunch item, appetizer, or snack, this recipe delivers a versatile and flavorful treat that can be served warm or at room temperature.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade)

Filling

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or your choice)
  • 1 cup diced vegetables (spinach, bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms)
  • 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature before baking.
  2. Prepare Crusts: Roll out the pie crusts and cut them into circles that fit snugly into a mini muffin tin.
  3. Form Mini Cups: Press each crust circle into the muffin tin to create small individual crust cups.
  4. Mix Filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream; season with salt and pepper to your taste.
  5. Add Fillings: Place a small amount of shredded cheese, diced vegetables, and cooked meat (if using) into each crust cup.
  6. Fill with Egg Mixture: Pour the egg and cream mixture over the fillings until each crust cup is almost full but not overflowing.
  7. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 25 minutes until the egg filling is set and the tops are golden brown.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the mini quiches to cool slightly before removing them from the tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon or sausage and add extra vegetables or cheese.
  • Use pre-shredded cheese for convenience or freshly grate for enhanced flavor.
  • Ensure not to overfill the crusts with egg mixture to prevent overflow during baking.
  • Let the quiches cool slightly to firm up for easier removal from the muffin tin.
  • Mini quiches can be made ahead of time and reheated before serving.
