Description
Crustless mini quiches are a delightful and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Packed with protein and flavor, they cater to various dietary preferences.
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder or onion powder (optional)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or mozzarella)
- 1/3 cup diced ham or cooked bacon (optional)
- 1/3 cup finely chopped spinach or broccoli florets (optional)
- 2 tablespoons diced onion or bell pepper (optional)
- Nonstick cooking spray or a little butter for the muffin tin
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray or butter.
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic/onion powder until blended.
- Divide cheese and any desired fillings (ham/bacon, veggies, onion) evenly among the muffin cups.
- Pour the egg mixture over the fillings, filling each cup about ¾ full.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, until the quiches are set and lightly golden on top.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 2–3 minutes. Run a small knife around the edges if needed, then gently lift the mini quiches out. Serve warm, or refrigerate and reheat as needed.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Don’t overfill the muffin cups to allow for puffing while baking. Experiment with different seasonings for unique flavors.
