Ingredients
- 1 refrigerated pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk or heavy cream
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (such as cheddar, Swiss, or Gruyere)
- 1/4 cup diced cooked bacon, ham, or sausage (optional)
- 1/4 cup diced vegetables (such as bell peppers, onions, spinach, or mushrooms)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Cooking spray or melted butter, for greasing the muffin tin
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or melted butter and set aside.
Prepare the Pie Crust:
- Roll out the refrigerated pie crust on a lightly floured surface until it is about 1/8 inch thick.
- Use a round cookie cutter or a drinking glass to cut out circles of dough slightly larger than the diameter of each muffin cup.
Line the Muffin Tin:
- Gently press each circle of dough into the bottom and up the sides of each muffin cup, forming mini pie crusts.
Prepare the Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk or cream until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir in the shredded cheese, diced cooked meat (if using), and diced vegetables until evenly distributed.
Fill the Mini Quiches:
- Spoon the egg mixture evenly into each mini pie crust, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Bake the Mini Quiches:
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the quiches are set and the crust is golden brown.
- Remove the mini quiches from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the mini quiches warm or at room temperature as a delicious appetizer or snack. Enjoy!

- Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite ingredients, such as different types of cheese, vegetables, herbs, or cooked meats.
