Delightful mini quiches featuring flaky pie crusts filled with a creamy egg and heavy cream custard, loaded with cheese, vegetables, and optional savory bacon or sausage. Perfect as a versatile appetizer or snack served warm or at room temperature.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade)

Filling

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or your choice)
  • 1 cup diced vegetables (spinach, bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms)
  • 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage (optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the mini quiches evenly.
  2. Prepare Crusts: Roll out the refrigerated pie crusts and use a cutter or glass to cut them into circles sized to fit each cup of a mini muffin tin. Press each crust circle gently into the muffin tin cups to form small crust cups.
  3. Mix Filling: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the 6 large eggs and 1 cup of heavy cream until well combined. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, creating a smooth custard base.
  4. Add Fillings to Crusts: Into each pressed crust cup, place a small amount of shredded cheese, diced vegetables, and crumbled bacon or sausage if using. This layering gives each mini quiche its flavorful body.
  5. Pour Egg Mixture: Carefully pour the egg and cream custard mixture over the fillings within each crust cup, filling them almost to the top but not overflowing.
  6. Bake: Bake the mini quiches in the preheated oven for 25 minutes until the egg custard is fully set and the tops turn a light golden brown.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the tin from the oven and allow the mini quiches to cool slightly before gently removing them. Serve warm or at room temperature as a perfect appetizer or snack.

Notes

  • If you prefer a vegetarian version, omit the bacon or sausage and add extra vegetables or plant-based meat alternatives.
  • Use a variety of cheeses such as Gruyère, mozzarella, or feta to change the flavor profile.
  • To save time, you can prepare the filling mixture ahead and store it in the fridge before baking.
  • If you want a crispier crust, bake the crust circles for 5 minutes before adding the filling (blind baking).
  • Mini muffin tins are essential for the perfect size and shape, but a regular muffin tin can be used for larger quiches.
