Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 mini quiches
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup diced vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, onions)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the 6 large eggs and whisk them thoroughly until the yolks and whites are completely combined and slightly frothy.
- Pour in the 1 cup of milk and continue whisking to create a smooth, uniform mixture. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
- Prepare the vegetables by finely dicing bell peppers, spinach, and onions. If using frozen spinach, ensure it is thawed and well-drained to prevent excess moisture.
- Gently fold the diced vegetables and shredded cheese into the egg mixture, distributing ingredients evenly throughout the batter.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture into each muffin tin cup, filling each about 3/4 full to allow room for rising during baking.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the mini quiches are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the mini quiches cool in the tin for 5 minutes before gently removing them with a small spatula.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. These mini quiches can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave.
Tips
- Make sure to thoroughly drain any wet ingredients like spinach to prevent soggy quiches.
- For extra flavor, experiment with different cheese varieties like feta, gouda, or Swiss.
- Use a non-stick muffin tin or generously grease the pan to ensure easy removal.
- These mini quiches are perfect for meal prep - they freeze beautifully for up to 1 month.
- Try adding cooked bacon, ham, or diced chicken for a protein boost.
- For a lighter version, use half milk and half cream, or substitute with a non-dairy alternative.
- Let the quiches cool slightly before removing to help them hold their shape.
- Customize with your favorite vegetables and herbs to keep things interesting!
