Ingredients

Scale

Gather these ingredients to make your Muffin Tin Mini Quiche:

  • 1 sheet refrigerated pie crust, thawed
  • 6 large eggs
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite cheese)
  • ½ cup cooked bacon, crumbled (optional)
  • ½ cup diced bell peppers or spinach (optional)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (such as parsley or chives), chopped (optional)
  • Non-stick cooking spray or butter, for greasing

Instructions

Prepare the Muffin Tin:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease the Muffin Tin: Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.

Prepare the Pie Crust:

  1. Roll Out the Pie Crust: Unroll the pie crust onto a clean surface.
  2. Cut the Crust: Using a round cookie cutter or a drinking glass, cut out 12 circles from the pie crust. Each circle should be slightly larger than the diameter of the muffin tin cups.
  3. Place in the Tin: Gently press each circle into the bottom and sides of the muffin tin cups to form a crust. Set aside.

Make the Quiche Filling:

  1. Whisk the Eggs and Dairy: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until fully combined.
  2. Add Cheese and Fillings: Stir in the shredded cheese, cooked bacon, diced vegetables, and any other desired fillings. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Add Fresh Herbs (Optional): Fold in any fresh herbs you’re using for added flavor.

Assemble the Quiches:

  1. Fill the Crusts: Spoon the quiche filling evenly into each prepared muffin tin cup, filling each about ¾ full.
  2. Bake: Bake the mini quiches for 25-30 minutes, or until the quiches are set and golden brown on top. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

Cool and Serve:

  1. Cool Slightly: Let the mini quiches cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing them. Use a butter knife to gently loosen the edges if needed.
  2. Serve: Serve warm, or let them cool completely before storing.
