Yield: About 24 mini quiches
- 2 unbaked pie crusts (homemade or store-bought)
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup whole milk
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¾ cup add-ins (ham, bacon, spinach, mushrooms, peppers, etc.)

Equipment Needed:
- Rolling pin
- Round cookie cutter (2.5-inch)
- Mini muffin pan
- Whisk & mixing bowl
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Dough
Chill pie crust dough for at least 2 hours (overnight is best for flakier crust). - Make the Filling
In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs, milk, cream, salt, and pepper until smooth. Refrigerate the mixture while preparing crusts. - Preheat Oven
Heat oven to 375°F (191°C). Grease mini muffin pans lightly. - Shape the Crusts
Roll out chilled dough on a floured surface. Cut 2.5-inch rounds and gently press into muffin pan cups. - Fill the Quiches
Pour egg mixture into each crust, filling nearly to the top. - Add Toppings
Sprinkle each quiche with your choice of add-ins (meat, veggies, or herbs) and shredded cheese. - Bake
Bake for 25–28 minutes until golden brown and set. - Serve
Cool for 5 minutes, then remove from pan. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Pro Tips
- No need to pre-bake the crusts — they cook perfectly in one bake.
- Freeze leftovers in an airtight container; reheat in the oven for a quick snack.
- Create a flavor variety tray (e.g., bacon-cheddar, spinach-feta, mushroom-Swiss) for parties.
