Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets pre-made pie crust
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, gruyere, or your favorite)
- 0.5 cup cooked bacon or ham (optional, diced)
- 0.5 cup chopped vegetables (e.g., spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with parchment baking cups.
Roll out the pre-made pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter (or a glass of similar size), cut out 12 circles of dough.
Press each dough circle into the wells of the muffin tin, ensuring the dough comes slightly up the sides to form a small crust.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheese into the bottom of each crust. Add your desired mix-ins (like bacon, ham, and/or vegetables) evenly across the quiche bases.
Pour the egg mixture into each dough-lined cup, filling them about 3/4 full (they will puff up slightly as they bake).
Sprinkle a little more cheese on top of each quiche for extra melty goodness.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the centers are set.
Remove the mini quiches from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the pan.
Garnish with fresh parsley or chives, if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy!
