Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
- 0.5 cup diced cooked bacon or ham
- 0.5 cup chopped baby spinach
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 pieces mini pie crusts or premade phyllo pastry cups
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or non-stick spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
If not using premade mini pie crusts, grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Stir in the shredded cheese, diced bacon or ham, and chopped spinach. Mix until evenly distributed.
If using mini pie crusts or phyllo pastry cups, place them into the muffin tin. If not, you can pour the mixture directly into the greased muffin tin.
Carefully ladle the egg mixture into each crust (or muffin cup) until about 3/4 full to allow for slight puffing during baking.
Place the muffin tin on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg mixture is fully set and lightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let the mini quiches cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated as needed.
