Muffin Sized Breakfast Quiche Food

CHEESY BACON MUFFIN TIN BREAKFAST QUICHES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray insides of Texas (jumbo) muffin cups with non-stick cooking spray. Unroll both pie crusts and slice each into quarters so that you have 8 pieces of dough. Press each piece into one muffin cup. (Note: This recipe yields 8 quiches. Use an 8-cup pan if you have it, or divide the batch between two 6-cup jumbo muffin pans, like we did.)
• Place a slice or two of Canadian bacon or ham in the center of each crust. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and cream until well combined. Stir in cheddar, red pepper, spinach, onion and garlic.
• Spoon mixture into muffin cups. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the centers are set. Serve warm or at room temperature.

EASY MINI QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease 12 muffin tins.
• Trim or cut bread into circles. Place circles in bottom of muffin tins. Distribute the onion and shredded cheese evenly between the muffin tins.
• In a medium bowl, combine milk, eggs, mustard and pepper. Divide between the muffin tins.
• Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a quiche comes out clean.

MINI QUICHE (ANY FLAVOR!)

Steps:

• I like to make sure my pie dough is prepared before I begin mini quiche. Make pie dough the night before because it needs to chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before using.
• In a large bowl with a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment- or simply using a whisk and mixing bowl- beat/whisk the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, salt, and pepper together (on high speed if using a mixer) until completely combined, about 1 minute. Cover and refrigerate egg filling until step 6.
• Preheat oven to 375°F (191°C). Grease two 24-count mini muffin pans. (Nonstick spray is best.) If you only have 1 mini muffin pan, bake these in batches. Roll out first pie dough, fill, and bake then roll out the 2nd pie dough, fill, and bake.
• Working with 1 chilled pie dough at a time, place the dough onto a floured work surface. Roll into a large 12-inch circle. Use your warm hands to mold any cracking edges back together as you see me doing in the video tutorial above. From the circle, cut rounds using a 2.5 inch cookie cutter. (Sometimes I use my 1/3 cup measuring cup, which is 2.5 inches in diameter.) You'll have to re-roll the dough scraps a few times. Work quickly, as the dough becomes much more delicate the longer it's at room temperature. You'll get about 24 rounds per pie crust. Repeat with 2nd chilled pie dough for a total of about 48.
• Place the dough rounds into greased 24-count mini muffin pan(s). Press the dough flat into the bottom of the crevice and up the sides.
• Evenly pour cold egg filling into each unbaked crust. Top evenly with add-ins, then sprinkle each with cheese.
• Bake mini quiches until the center is just about set and edges are lightly browned, about 25-28 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pan. If greased well, the mini quiches pop right out using a spoon to scoop them up. Serve warm or at room temperature
• Mini quiches make great leftovers! Cover tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

BREAKFAST QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425F.
• Spread sausage evenly in bottom of prepared pie shell.
• Sprinkle cheese, potatoes and onion over sausage.
• Pour eggs over all.
• Bake for 5 minutes, reduce heat to 375F and bake 45-55 minutes, until lightly browned and well set.

QUICHE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Coat two muffin tins with nonstick spray. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Unroll pie crusts. Using a 3-inch round cutter, cut 12 rounds per crust (you may have to re-roll the pie crust to get all the rounds). Press into prepared muffin tins.
• Place one tablespoon each ham and cheese into each muffin. Divide scallions evenly among all muffins. Pour egg mixture evenly over all 24 cups, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top.
• Bake at 375 degrees or until golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes (remove a few to check that the crust is cooked completely on the bottom). Cool slightly and serve warm.

MINI QUICHES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Generously grease 24 mini (1 3/4x1-inch) muffin cups with shortening or cooking spray.
• In small bowl, stir Bisquick mix and butter until blended. Add boiling water; stir vigorously until soft dough forms. Press rounded teaspoonful of dough on bottom and up side of each muffin cup. Divide bacon evenly among muffin cups.
• In small bowl, beat half-and-half and egg until well blended. Stir in onions, salt and red pepper. Spoon 1 1/2 teaspoons egg mixture into each muffin cup. Sprinkle cheese over tops.
• Bake about 20 minutes or until edges are golden brown and centers are set. Cover; refrigerate any remaining appetizers.

MUFFIN SIZED BREAKFAST QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375.
• Lightly grease your muffin pan with spray or oil on a paper towel, set aside.
• Saute the Chopped Onions in a pan with the tablespoon of oil, until translucent.
• Crack the eggs in a bowl and beat as if making scrambled eggs. Salt and Pepper eggs to taste.
• Into the greased muffin cups add about 3 or 4 leaves of Spinach. (You probably won't use the whole bag.).
• Top the Spinach with about a teaspoon each of the sauted Onions.
• Top the onions with about 1 Tablespoon each of the Cheddar Cheese.
• Then ladle enough egg mixture into each muffin cup to fill the tin about 2/3 full.
• Bake your little quiches for 10-20 minutes, (depending on the size of your muffin tin cups.) They should be nicely browned on top, but do not overcook. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
• Let your quiche-muffins cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Then using a dinner knife, gently run the blade around the perimeter of each muffin to loosen. Then plop them carefully on a plate to finish cooling and serve.

CRUSTLESS MINI QUICHE (SINGLE SERVING BREAKFAST MUFFINS)

Steps:

• If using meat (bacon, sausage, etc.), cook it fully first. Set it aside to cool, then cut into small pieces.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F., and thoroughly grease (butter, coconut oil, or non-stick spray) a muffin tin. (NOTE: I recommend using a non-stick muffin tin for even easier removal.)
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, milk, parsley, basil, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
• Get all your veggies diced up and ready to go. Optionally, you can saute your onion with a bit of olive oil to soften it up and take away some of its bite. Set aside and allow to cool.
• Add all the veggies to the bowl with the egg mixture, and stir to combine. Stir in half of the cheese, and all of the meat, if using.
• Using an ice-cream scoop or ¼ cup measure, scoop the mixture into the prepared muffin pan. Fill to about ¼ inch from the top, then sprinkle a small amount of reserved cheese over each. Place in the oven, and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg is fully set and the cheese has just started to turn golden on top.
• Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before running a butterknife around each muffin, and gently removing from the pan. Enjoy while warm, or let cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the fridge. Leftovers can be reheated for several seconds in the microwave (time will vary depending on your microwave), or a few minutes in a preheated oven or toaster oven.

EASY MINI QUICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 mini muffin pans. In a large skillet over medium heat, fry bacon and onion together for about 5 minutes, or until bacon is crisp. Drain and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, beat the eggs. Stir in the baking mix, parsley, shredded cheese, bacon and onion. Spoon into greased muffin cups.
• Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the tops are lightly browned. Allow mini quiches to cool in the pan before carefully removing with a small knife or spatula.

BROCCOLI QUICHE CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Divide broccoli and cheese among 12 greased muffin cups., Whisk together remaining ingredients; pour into cups. Bake until set, 15-20 minutes.

MINI QUICHES WITH A PUFF PASTRY CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Prep two muffin trays by greasing the muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray.
• With a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface, flatten out the puff pasty sheets to about 1/8 inch thick, shaping the dough into a large rectangle about 16 inches wide and 12 inches long. Cut the pastry sheet into 12 even squares using a sharp knife. Repeat with the other puff pastry sheet.
• Line the greased muffin cups with one square of dough each, pushing the dough down into the bottom of the tin. The corners should poke out of the pan.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the onions and garlic until the onions turn translucent. Add the spinach, and sautee until the leaves wilt and become tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside and let cool slightly in the pan.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs. Stir in the cheese.
• Evenly divide the spinach mixture between the pastry-lined muffin cups. Spoon the egg mixture over the spinach, filling about 2/3 to the top.
• Bake 35-45 minutes, until the eggs are set and the crust has browned.
• Remove from the oven and let cool 10 minutes in the pan before removing and placing them on a wire rack to cool for another 15 minutes. Serve warm.

PETITE CRUST-LESS QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a nonstick muffin pan with olive oil spray.
• Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
• Sauté onions and salt for 5 minutes, until soft, add bell peppers, garlic, tomato, kielbasa sauté for another 5 to 7 minutes. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk the eggs, egg whites, milk, flour, salt and pepper until smooth.
• Add the cheese and cooked kielbasa mixture to the bowl and mix well.
• Pour into the prepared muffin pan and bake for 28 to 30 minutes, or until firm.

COUNTRY QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large skillet, cook the sausage until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Then remove with a slotted spoon and reserve.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk the baking powder, tomatoes and eggs together. Add the cooked sausage and the cheese to the egg mixture and stir together with a large spoon. Add salt and pepper and divide the mixture between both unbaked pie shells. Bake until the filling is set, about 30 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

QUICHE LORRAINE

Steps:

• Blind bake the crust: Preheat the oven to 400°F and set a rack in the middle position. Remove the pie crust from freezer and thaw until just soft enough to easily prick with a fork, about 10 minutes. (If there are any cracks in the crust, see note below on how to patch them up.) Prick the bottom and sides all over with a fork. Place the crust on a baking sheet to make it easy to move in and out of the oven. Bake on until lightly golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Keep an eye on it; if it puffs up while cooking, gently prick it with a fork so it will deflate. (If it cracks while baking, see note below for instructions on how to patch it up.) Set aside and reduce the oven temperature to 325°F.
• In a medium nonstick sauté pan over medium heat, cook the bacon, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Pour off all but one tablespoon of fat from the pan. Add the shallots and cook over medium-low heat until soft and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Do not brown. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the heavy cream, salt, cayenne pepper, and nutmeg; whisk until evenly combined.
• Spread the shallots evenly over the bottom of the cooked crust. Top with half of the bacon, all of the Gruyère, and then the remaining bacon. Pour the egg/cream mixture over top.
• Slide the quiche (still on the baking sheet) into the oven and bake at 325°F for 45 to 50 minutes, until the custard is set and lightly golden. Serve hot or warm.
• Note: Don't panic if your crust has cracks -- you can easily fix it. Make a smooth paste by mixing 1 tablespoon of flour with 1 tablespoon of water. Use your fingers to patch up and fill any cracks, then proceed with the recipe. If the crust cracks while blind baking, patch it afterwards and place it back in the oven for a minute or so to set. It should be good as new.
• Make-Ahead Instructions: This quiche can be fully prepared up to a day ahead of time and refrigerated. To reheat: Cover the quiche with aluminum foil and heat in a preheated 300°F oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until hot in the center.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The cooked quiche can be frozen for up to 3 months. After baking and cooling the quiche, wrap it in a layer of plastic wrap and then a layer of aluminum foil. Remove the quiche from the freezer about 24 hours prior to eating. Remove the plastic wrap and reheat it, covered with foil, in a 300°F oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until hot in the center.
