Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 pie crusts pre-made or homemade
- 5 large eggs
- 1 cup half and half
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- ½ cup cooked ham diced
- ¼ cup spinach fresh, chopped
- ¼ cup bell pepper diced
- ¼ cup onion chopped
- fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
- Roll out the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about ⅛ inch. Using a round 3-inch cookie cutter or a glass, cut out 24 circles from the pie crusts. Press each circle into the prepared mini muffin cups, forming a small crust.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and half-and-half until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, diced ham, chopped spinach, diced bell pepper, and chopped onion, mixing well to combine.
- Spoon the filling mixture into each crust-filled muffin cup, filling each almost to the top.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the quiches are set and golden brown on top.
- Remove the mini quiches from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes. Carefully remove the quiches from the muffin tin and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.

Notes
- Crust Options: You can use pre-made pie crusts for convenience, or make your own for a homemade touch.
- Fillings are Flexible: Feel free to swap out ham for bacon or sausage, or use different vegetables like mushrooms or tomatoes.
- Cheese Varieties: While cheddar is used here, experimenting with different cheeses like Swiss, Gruyère, or a mix can add new flavors.
- Make-Ahead Friendly: These quiches can be made ahead and reheated, perfect for busy days or meal prep.
- Freezer Instructions: Freeze the baked and cooled quiches for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven or microwave for a quick meal.
- Mini Muffin Tins: If you don't have a mini muffin tin, you can use a regular muffin tin for larger quiches (just adjust the baking time).
