Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk (or heavy cream)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried herbs (thyme, oregano, optional)
Fillings
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
- 1 cup diced vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, onions, mushrooms, etc.)
- 1/2 cup cooked meats (bacon, ham, sausage, optional)
Additional
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin thoroughly with cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the mini quiches.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and dried herbs if using, to enhance the flavor.
- Assemble the Mini Quiches: Evenly distribute the diced vegetables and cooked meats, if using, into the prepared muffin tin cups. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the fillings, filling each cup about three-quarters full to allow room for the quiches to set. Top each mini quiche with a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake the mini quiches for 20 to 25 minutes or until the eggs are fully set and the tops turn lightly golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Let the mini quiches cool in the muffin tin for about 5 minutes to firm up. Carefully remove them from the tin and serve warm or at room temperature for a delicious meal or snack.
Notes
- You can customize the fillings with your favorite vegetables and meats or make them vegetarian by omitting the meats.
- Use heavy cream instead of milk for a richer, creamier texture.
- These mini quiches can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently in the microwave or oven.
- To freeze, wrap individually and thaw overnight before reheating.
- Non-stick muffin tins or silicone muffin cups work best for easy removal.
