A recipe for making small, individual quiches using pie crusts and a simple egg and cream filling, customizable with various add-ins.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pie crusts (store-bought or homemade, chilled)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional Add-ins (e.g., 2/3 cup cooked ham, 2-3 Tbsp fresh spinach, 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese)

Instructions

  1. Ensure your pie dough is thoroughly chilled; if homemade, this typically requires at least 2 hours or overnight.
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (191°C). Lightly grease two mini muffin pans (24-count each) with nonstick spray.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one pie crust. Using a 2.5 to 3-inch round cutter, cut out circles. Gently press each circle into the wells of the prepared muffin pan to form small cups. Repeat with the second pie crust.
  4. In a large bowl, vigorously whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until the mixture is fully combined and slightly frothy, about one minute. Cover and refrigerate this egg custard until ready to use.
  5. Distribute your chosen add-ins (such as cooked ham, finely chopped spinach, or shredded cheese) evenly into the unbaked crusts in the muffin pans. It’s often best to place these directly into the crusts rather than mixing them into the egg custard beforehand.
  6. Carefully pour the chilled egg filling into each pie crust cup, filling them almost to the brim.
  7. Bake for 16-19 minutes, or until the quiches are set and the tops appear lightly golden.
  8. Allow the mini quiches to cool slightly in the muffin pan before carefully extracting them.
  9. Serve warm or at room temperature. Any remaining quiches can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Notes

  • If using homemade pie dough, ensure it is thoroughly chilled (at least 2 hours or overnight).
  • For best results, chill the egg custard before pouring it into the crusts.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
