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.

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

• Diced tomatoes and feta cheese.
