Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 mini quiches
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup diced vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, etc.)
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray for muffin tin
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Thoroughly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well beaten and slightly frothy. Gradually add milk and continue whisking to create a smooth, uniform mixture.
- Prepare the vegetables by finely dicing bell peppers or chopping spinach. If using raw vegetables, lightly sauté them first to remove excess moisture and enhance flavor.
- Add diced vegetables, shredded cheese, salt, and pepper to the egg mixture. Stir gently to distribute ingredients evenly throughout the base.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture into each muffin tin cup, filling each about 3/4 full to allow room for rising during baking.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the quiches are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let the mini quiches cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Use a small knife to gently loosen edges before removing.
- Serve warm as a breakfast, brunch, or appetizer. Can be stored in refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in microwave.
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality eggs for the best flavor and texture.
- Always pre-cook vegetables like spinach or bell peppers to remove excess moisture, preventing soggy quiches.
- Don't overfill the muffin tin - leave about 1/4 inch at the top to allow for rising during baking.
- For extra flavor, experiment with different cheese varieties like sharp cheddar, gruyère, or feta.
- These mini quiches can be prepared in advance and refrigerated or frozen, making them perfect for meal prep.
- Use a non-stick cooking spray generously to ensure easy removal.
- Let the quiches cool slightly before removing to help them maintain their shape.
- For a protein boost, consider adding diced ham, bacon, or cooked sausage to the mixture.
