Mini Quiche Recipe

Delectable mini quiche bites with a fluffy egg texture and flaky, buttery crust are always on the menu if I’m hosting a special brunch! Whether for Easter, baby showers, bridal showers or Christmas morning these are everyone’s favorite appetizer. They’re also great for lunch or dinner with some simple sides. Plus, they’re completely customizable! You can change up the recipe and use bacon instead of ham, or make them vegetarian by replacing the meat with sautéed veggies.

Quiche cups look so elegant and fancy that you may think they’re complicated to make, but they are actually so easy. Use a premade crust, and these only require about 20 minutes of prep. They keep for days and even freeze well, so you can make them in advance to enjoy throughout the week, or have them ready-to-go ahead of an event or holiday gathering. Pair your mini quiche with our quick 45-minute cinnamon rolls, a fruit salad and muffins or mini pancakes for a complete brunch spread!

Ingredients Needed

You only need a handful of simple ingredients for this mini quiche recipe. You probably already have most of them in your kitchen! Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements.

• Pie Crust: To make this recipe hassle-free, use a store-bought pie crust. However, if you’d rather make a homemade one, my grandma’s pie crust recipe is the best.  
• Cheese: If you have the time, shred your cheese from a block for better flavor and melting. Any cheese works well, but we really like the taste of cheddar cheese in this recipe.
• Ham: Use any cooked ham from your local grocery store, even deli ham works.
• Chives: Adds a pop of color and freshness.
• Eggs: You will need 3 room temperature eggs for this recipe. I always use large grade A eggs in my recipes.
• Cream and Milk: A combination of heavy cream and whole milk will make the egg filling perfectly rich and creamy.
• Salt & Black Pepper: Use salt and ground black pepper to bring out all of the fantastic flavors in these mini quiche.

How to Make Mini Quiche

These cute bites are really easy to prep. Cut out the crust and whip up the egg mixture, then the rest of the time is spent cooking in the oven! Your family and friends will adore this fun (and incredibly scrumptious) poppable breakfast option!

1. Prep: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 24-count mini muffin pan with pan spray.
2. Make the Crust: Cut 24 2-inch circles from the pie crust, gathering the scraps and rolling it out again as needed to get all 24. Carefully press the pie crust circles into each well of the muffin pan. Don’t press them too hard, or they will be difficult to release. Also, be careful to not puncture the dough or your quiche will leak. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the quiche mixture and add-ins.
3. Combine the Filling: In a medium bowl, use a whisk or an immersion blender to combine the eggs, cream, milk, salt, and pepper. Transfer to a large liquid measuring cup for easy pouring. You may also use a small ladle to fill the little wells, but a measuring cup is easier.

Assemble and Bake

1. Fill the Crusts: Remove the muffin pan from the refrigerator and add a little bit of each add-in filling to each of the wells. Fill the wells to the brim of the pie crust with the quiche mixture.
2. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, until the edges of the pastry are beginning to brown. Once they are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for 5-10 minutes. While they are still warm, carefully remove them from the pan. Your mini quiche should come out fairly easily, but if the egg mixture leaked at all, running the tip of a small paring knife around the edge can help loosen the quiche from the pan.
