Perfect for snacks, brunch, or parties, these cheesy, savory mini quiches are baked in individual foil cups and can be customized with your favorite fillings.
Ingredients
For the Crust (Optional):
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
2-3 tbsp cold water
For the Filling:
6 large eggs
1 cup milk or heavy cream
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
1/2 cup cooked bacon bits, ham, or sausage (optional)
1/4 cup diced onion (optional)
1/4 cup chopped bell peppers or spinach (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh herbs (parsley, chives) for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust (Optional):
Mix flour and salt in a bowl. Add cold butter and use a pastry cutter or hands to create a crumbly mixture.
Add water one tablespoon at a time until the dough holds together. Roll out thin and cut into circles slightly larger than your foil cups. Line each cup with the dough.
- Prepare the Filling:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Add in shredded cheese and any cooked or raw veggies/meat you’d like.
- Assemble:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
If using crust, press it firmly into the cups. Pour the egg mixture into each cup, filling it about 3/4 full.
- Bake:
Place the filled cups on a baking tray and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the centers are set.
- Cool and Serve:
Allow to cool for a few minutes, garnish with fresh herbs, and enjoy warm or at room temperature!
