I am a little obsessed with the mini pie crust treats lately. Today we are making a Simple Mini Quiche Recipe. Although, there really isn’t much of a recipe, because you can use just about anything you have on hand!
I have posted my Mini Cherry Pies HERE and my easy Quiche recipe HERE.
This is a great way to clean out the fridge. I had mini pepperonis and so I am using those for 1/2 and the bacon bits for the other half.
First start by rolling out your pie crust and using a cup making circles to press into the muffin tin. You want a little bigger round then the tin opening.
Press them into the pans. 2 pre-made pie crusts made 18 little quiches for me.
On the bottom I added some cheese and the meat. You can also add some veggies but remember that they wont have a lot of time to cook, so maybe things like tomatoes would be good.
I did both bacon bits and pepperoni, but you could do sausage, and even hamburger.
Then in a bowl I mixed 1 egg and 1T heavy cream for each quiche I was filling. I only had 15 eggs and it still worked out for the 18 quiches I had, so that is an estimate at 1 – 1.
I added some salt and pepper and a little onion powder.
I poured the egg mixture into the little crusts, leaving a little room for them to expand. I added some more cheese to the top.
I baked them at 350 for about 20 minutes. They puffed up and then fell back a little, which made them perfect! The kids DEVOURED them! HUGE hit!
I have made these before and when they were completely cool, put them in the large Ziploc bag and froze them. They come out perfectly and I just microwaved them to heat them up.
Perfect for a lunch or breakfast on the go.

Quick question-could you use milk instead of the cream? These look so good, too bad its eight million degrees out and I don’t want to put on the oven!

I am new to cooking and don’t have heavy cream… could you use evaporated milk or just regular milk?
Tiffany says
Yes I would just use milk!
Tiffany says
did you use regular cupcake tins, or MINI tins?
i am making 100 of these for a church event…

hi! What an awesome recipe!! Thank you so much for sharing, one quick question, how long can you keep these in the fridge, if say you don’t have any space in freezer 🙂

I’m making these with bacon bits, Canadian bacon, fresh spinach and of course cheese.
