  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (chives, parsley, or basil)

Ingredient Highlights

  • Eggs: The star ingredient that provides structure and protein.

  • Cheese: Enhances the flavor and texture of the quiche.
  • Meats: Bacon, ham, or sausage add a savory, smoky depth.
  • Vegetables: Spinach, peppers, and mushrooms bring freshness and nutrients.
  • Pie Crust: A buttery crust creates a classic quiche feel but can be omitted for a low-carb option.

Instructions

Prepare the Muffin Tin and Crust (If Using):

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray or butter.
  2. Prepare the Crust: If using pie crust, roll it out on a floured surface and cut circles slightly larger than each muffin cup. Press the dough circles into each cup, trimming excess if necessary.

Make the Egg Mixture:

  1. Whisk the Eggs and Milk: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using) until well combined.

Assemble the Mini Quiches:

  1. Add the Fillings: Evenly distribute the cheese, meats, and vegetables into each muffin cup.
  2. Pour the Egg Mixture: Carefully pour the egg mixture over the fillings, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
  3. Sprinkle Herbs on Top: Add fresh herbs for extra flavor.

Bake and Cool:

  1. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the tops are slightly golden.
  2. Cool: Let the mini quiches cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing them. Use a knife to gently loosen the edges if needed.
