Muffin Sized Breakfast Quiche Recipes

MINI QUICHE (ANY FLAVOR!)

Steps:

• I like to make sure my pie dough is prepared before I begin mini quiche. Make pie dough the night before because it needs to chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before using.
• In a large bowl with a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment- or simply using a whisk and mixing bowl- beat/whisk the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, salt, and pepper together (on high speed if using a mixer) until completely combined, about 1 minute. Cover and refrigerate egg filling until step 6.
• Preheat oven to 375°F (191°C). Grease two 24-count mini muffin pans. (Nonstick spray is best.) If you only have 1 mini muffin pan, bake these in batches. Roll out first pie dough, fill, and bake then roll out the 2nd pie dough, fill, and bake.
• Working with 1 chilled pie dough at a time, place the dough onto a floured work surface. Roll into a large 12-inch circle. Use your warm hands to mold any cracking edges back together as you see me doing in the video tutorial above. From the circle, cut rounds using a 2.5 inch cookie cutter. (Sometimes I use my 1/3 cup measuring cup, which is 2.5 inches in diameter.) You'll have to re-roll the dough scraps a few times. Work quickly, as the dough becomes much more delicate the longer it's at room temperature. You'll get about 24 rounds per pie crust. Repeat with 2nd chilled pie dough for a total of about 48.
• Place the dough rounds into greased 24-count mini muffin pan(s). Press the dough flat into the bottom of the crevice and up the sides.
• Evenly pour cold egg filling into each unbaked crust. Top evenly with add-ins, then sprinkle each with cheese.
• Bake mini quiches until the center is just about set and edges are lightly browned, about 25-28 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pan. If greased well, the mini quiches pop right out using a spoon to scoop them up. Serve warm or at room temperature
• Mini quiches make great leftovers! Cover tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

MUFFIN SIZED BREAKFAST QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375.
• Lightly grease your muffin pan with spray or oil on a paper towel, set aside.
• Saute the Chopped Onions in a pan with the tablespoon of oil, until translucent.
• Crack the eggs in a bowl and beat as if making scrambled eggs. Salt and Pepper eggs to taste.
• Into the greased muffin cups add about 3 or 4 leaves of Spinach. (You probably won't use the whole bag.).
• Top the Spinach with about a teaspoon each of the sauted Onions.
• Top the onions with about 1 Tablespoon each of the Cheddar Cheese.
• Then ladle enough egg mixture into each muffin cup to fill the tin about 2/3 full.
• Bake your little quiches for 10-20 minutes, (depending on the size of your muffin tin cups.) They should be nicely browned on top, but do not overcook. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
• Let your quiche-muffins cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Then using a dinner knife, gently run the blade around the perimeter of each muffin to loosen. Then plop them carefully on a plate to finish cooling and serve.

CRUSTLESS BREAKFAST QUICHE MUFFINS

• Divide egg mixture between 12 greased muffin tins.
