Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk (or heavy cream)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried herbs (thyme, oregano, optional)
Fillings
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
- 1 cup diced vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, onions, mushrooms, etc.)
- 1/2 cup cooked meats (bacon, ham, sausage, optional)
Other
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin well with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the 6 large eggs and 1 cup of milk or heavy cream until fully blended. Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and the optional dried herbs like thyme or oregano to enhance flavor.
- Assemble the Mini Quiches: Evenly distribute the diced vegetables and cooked meats (if using) into each greased muffin tin cup. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the fillings, filling each cup about three-quarters full. Then, sprinkle shredded cheese generously on top of each quiche for a melty finish.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Bake until the eggs are set, and the tops turn a light golden color, indicating they are cooked through and ready.
- Cool and Serve: Let the mini quiches cool in the muffin tin for about 5 minutes to firm up slightly before removing them carefully. Serve warm or at room temperature for a delightful meal or snack.
Notes
- You can customize fillings based on your preference or seasonal vegetables and proteins.
- These mini quiches can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen for easy reheating.
- Use heavy cream instead of milk for richer quiches.
- To reheat, warm in a preheated oven or microwave for best texture.
- Non-stick muffin tins or paper liners can also be used to ease removal.
