Mini Quiche Recipe with Ham and Cheese

To lighten the quiche, I use phyllo crust and yogurt instead of cream, which adds protein while making the eggs creamy and delectable. They cook up nicely or may be consumed at room temperature, making them excellent for meal preparation. You may also customize the quiche contents using your favorite cheese or another meat, such as sausage or bacon.

Mini Quiche Ingredients

• Phyllo:You will need eight phyllo sheets for the crust.
• Ham: Mince four ounces of ham steak or deli ham.
• Sprinkle salt and pepper over the eggs.
• Cheese: Shred three ounces cheddar cheese.
• Yogurt: Use full-fat ordinary yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.
• Eggs:You’ll need eight big eggs to make 12 tiny quiches.

How to Make Mini Quiche

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a muffin tray with olive oil spray.
• Mini Quiche Crust: Place one phyllo sheet on a clean work surface, gently spritz with oil, and cover with another. Repeat with two additional sheets and oil. Cut the phyllo into four-inch pieces and put them into the muffin cups. Repeat the process with the remaining phyllo.
• Put roughly a spoonful of ham in each phyllo cup.
• Egg Mixture: Whisk together the yogurt, eggs, salt, and pepper until smooth, then distribute evenly among the muffin cups.
• Bake for 30 minutes, until the eggs are set and the phyllo is brown.

Mini Quiche Variations

• Cheese: Replace cheddar with Swiss, mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack.
• Meat: Use ham instead of cooked sausage, bacon, or chorizo.
• Vegetarian Mini Quiche: Leave out the meat and add your favorite vegetables, such as bell peppers or broccoli.
• tiny Quiche Without Crust: For a carb-free tiny quiche, skip the phyllo.
• Crust Alternative: Instead of phyllo, use chilled prepared pie dough cut into four-inch pieces.

FAQs

What’s the difference between a mini quiche and a crustless quiche?

A quiche often features a crust made of phyllo or pie dough. A crustless quiche is just a quiche with no pastry. If you want crustless mini quiches, skip the phyllo.

What’s the distinction between a frittata and a quiche recipe?

Two Items: Dairy: Quiche is an egg custard that usually includes some type of liquid dairy, such as milk, cream, half and half, or, in this case, yogurt. If frittatas contain dairy, it is generally only cheese. A frittata is cooked on the stove and finished in the oven, whereas a quiche is simply cooked in the oven.

How do you keep egg muffins from adhering to the muffin pan?

To keep the quiche from sticking to the pan, generously spray the muffin tin’s sides and bottom. To avoid sticking, use a nonstick muffin pan. Allow the baked eggs to cool before removing them. If they remain stuck after cooling, use a thin knife to dislodge them off the edges of the pan.

Meal Prep

These nutritious mini quiches are ideal for meal prep since they keep for up to four days in the refrigerator. For a quick breakfast or snack, microwave or consume at room temperature. They may also be refrigerated for up to three months and thawed in the refrigerator or microwaved directly from the freezer.
