How to Make Mini Quiche

Mini quiches are perfect for any gathering—from festive brunches to cozy Sunday mornings. Prepping a batch is straightforward, and trust me, they’ll disappear quickly from your table!

Get ready to have fun choosing your favorite flavors—the process is simple!

Preheat: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease two 24-cup mini muffin pans.
Roll Out: On a floured surface, roll out the pie crusts. Use a 2.5-inch round cookie cutter to cut out 48 circles. Carefully press each circle into the muffin cups and chill for a bit.
Whisk: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, milk, salt, and pepper until completely smooth. Pour the mixture into a large measuring cup for easy pouring.
Fill: Add your desired fillings to each muffin cup, then pour the egg mixture on top, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Bake: Pop the trays into the oven and bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the quiches are set and the tops are lightly golden. Once done, let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Serve: Enjoy them warm, at room temperature, or chilled—however you like!

Tips For the Best Mini Quiche

The best part about these mini quiches is their versatility! Mix and match the fillings based on your preference or use leftovers from the fridge. Here are some handy tips to elevate your quiche game:

Avoid Overfilling: Make sure to fill the cups only three-quarters full to prevent any spillage while baking.
Go Crustless: Prefer to skip the crust? Just grease the muffin tins well to avoid sticking!
Bake Until Set: Keep an eye on them; you want a lightly golden crust with firm egg filling. Every oven is different!
Mix-and-Match Fillings: Feel free to try various flavors or stick to your favorite combinations.
Prep Ahead: You can prepare the pie crusts and fillings ahead of time. Just store them separately in the fridge until you’re ready to bake.
Customize: Add freshly chopped herbs, spices, or alternative cheeses for a unique flavor boost.

How to Store

These mini quiches are fantastic for freezing—so go ahead and double the batch! Here’s how to store them properly:

To Store: Place cooled mini quiches in an airtight container, and they will last in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

To Freeze: Flash-freeze the cooled quiches on a baking sheet for around 30 minutes before moving them to a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag. They can be frozen for up to 2 months.

To Reheat: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, loosely covering with foil if the crust browns too quickly. Alternatively, microwave individual pieces for 30-60 seconds at medium power. To reheat from frozen, bake at 350°F for 25-35 minutes or until warmed through.
