6 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
1 cup diced vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, spinach, onions, mushrooms)
1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 package of pre-made pastry shells or phyllo dough
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.
Stir in the shredded cheese, diced vegetables, and cooked meat if desired.
Line a muffin tin with the pastry shells or phyllo dough.
Fill each shell with the egg mixture, being careful not to overfill.
Bake for 18–20 minutes or until the eggs are set and the tops are golden brown.
Let them cool slightly before removing from the muffin tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Mini quiches go well with fresh salads, fruit platters, or alongside a brunch spread featuring muffins, croissants, and fresh juice. You can also pack them into lunchboxes or serve them as appetizers with dipping sauces like sour cream, salsa, or herbed yogurt.
