Description
Delicious mini quiches that can be customized with various flavors to suit every taste.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
- 1 cup diced vegetables (spinach, bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms)
- 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line with paper liners.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, softened butter, and salt. Mix until crumbly. Gradually add cold water, mixing until the dough comes together.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut out circles to fit into the muffin tin cups.
- Press the dough circles into the muffin tin, forming a crust in each cup.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Season with salt and pepper.
- Evenly distribute the diced vegetables and cooked meat (if using) among the crusts. Pour the egg mixture over the top, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of each quiche.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg is set and the tops are golden brown. Allow to cool for a few minutes before removing from the tin.
Notes
- For a lighter version, use egg whites instead of whole eggs and low-fat milk.
- You can experiment with different cheese varieties or add herbs like thyme or basil for extra flavor.
