This is an overview of the recipe. The full recipe is below in the recipe card below.

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F/204°C. Spray a mini muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. Cut out rounds from the pie crust that will fit into the tins.
  3. Place one round in each muffin muffin pan cup. Poke the bottom of each pastry with a fork.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper together.
  5. Pour into the tins until each is full and top with add-ins.
  6. Bake until the tops begin to turn golden brown- about 15-18 minutes.
  7. Serve warm and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

For the cheddar and chive quiche, top each one with 1 teaspoon of grated cheddar cheese before baking. Top with a slice of chive or green onion before serving.

For the bacon and onion quiche, top each one with about ½ teaspoon of minced onion and bacon crumbles. As long as you mince the onion very finely, you don’t need to cook it before adding it to the quiches.

Storage Tips

Leftovers can be kept in a covered airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Reheat leftovers in the microwave for a few seconds or reheat in the oven for about 5 minutes at 350°F.

Expert Tips

Expert Tip: When you take the mini quiche out of the oven, they will be very puffy and will look like they’ve overflowed slightly. Don’t worry— after 1-2 minutes, they will sink and turn out perfectly!

Expert Tips for Success

  • The pie crust should be cold when you cut it with the biscuit cutter or a round cookie cutter.
  • If it becomes difficult to cut the pie crust, put it in the freezer for about 5 minutes to get cold again.
  • Any add-ins should be finely diced as these are small bites.
  • If you decide to use other veggies such as peppers or broccoli, they should be sautéed for about 5-7 minutes before adding to the quiche.
  • Spinach, zucchini, and mushrooms release a lot of liquid. If using them in this or any quiche, be sure to saute them and then discard the excess liquid.

Variations

Here are a few more ideas for some tasty mini quiche recipes.

  • Diced tomatoes and feta cheese.
  • Chopped broccoli and cheddar cheese.
  • Diced ham and your favorite cheese such as Swiss or Havarti cheese.
  • Cooked crumbled breakfast sausage and Gruyere cheese.
  • Diced mushrooms and shredded fontina cheese
  • Sauteed spinach, drained of excess liquid, then add either feta cheese, Fontina cheese, or swiss cheese would be great alternatives.
  • Add some basil pesto or kale pesto to the eggs before you scramble them
  • Puff Pastry can be used as the base of the quiche.

Frequently asked questions

Here are some common questions about this recipe. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask them in the comments.

Can the mini quiche be frozen?

Yes. Place the quiche on a baking sheet into the freezer until solid. Transfer to a freezer-safe storage bag or container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Defrost in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven at 350°F for a few minutes.

Can I make this without a crust?

Absolutely. My daughters are gluten-free so I make a bunch of crustless quiche. Just make them in the muffin tins without a crust.

Is this a recipe that I can make ahead of time?

You sure can. I've made them up to 2 days ahead. The quiche can be served at room temperature or reheated with the instructions above.

Can these be served cold?

The quiche should be served either warm or at room temperature. Ice cold is not as tasty as at room temperature.

What can I use instead of whole milk in the quiche?

Heavy cream or half and half can be used in lieu of milk.
For dairy-free choices, use almond or soy milk.

Notes

Be sure to check the Expert Tips and FAQs above with important tips and questions that can help make a delicious recipe.

Note 1: 1 (14.1 ounce) package should come with 2 pie crusts which will both be used for this recipe.

Note 2: 1 or 2% milk can be used. I do not recommend skim milk for this recipe.

Note 3: Feel free to change up the cheese to any of your favorites. I do recommend you shred the cheese yourself. Pre-shredded cheese has a film on it that makes it hard to melt.

Note 3: Cooked turkey bacon can also be used in this recipe.

Storage: Leftover quiche can be kept in a covered airtight container in the refrigerator for about 5 days.

Freezer Instructions: Place the quiche on a baking sheet into the freezer until solid. Transfer to a freezer-safe storage bag or container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Defrost in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven at 350°F for a few minutes.

Reheat leftovers in the microwave for a few seconds or reheat in the oven for about 5 minutes at 350°F.
