These easy mini muffin tin quiche bites are perfect for quick snacks, featuring a creamy custard center with crispy edges and a savory blend of cheese, veggies, and optional meat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk (whole or 2%; can substitute with unsweetened almond or oat milk)
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (about 100 g)
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (about 25 g)
  • 1/2 cup cooked veggies (diced bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms), sautéed and drained
  • 1/4 cup cooked bacon or ham, chopped (optional, about 30 g)
  • 1 tbsp fresh herbs (chopped, like chives or parsley)
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper (about 1/4 teaspoon each)
  • Olive oil or butter (for greasing the muffin tin)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and position the rack in the center.
  2. Grease the mini muffin tin thoroughly with olive oil or melted butter using a pastry brush.
  3. Sauté veggies lightly for 3-4 minutes until softened, then drain excess moisture. Chop cooked bacon or ham into small pieces. Finely chop fresh herbs.
  4. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until smooth and slightly frothy. Add salt and pepper.
  5. Fold in shredded cheddar, grated parmesan, cooked veggies, meat (if using), and herbs gently without overmixing.
  6. Spoon the mixture evenly into each greased mini muffin cup, filling about 3/4 full (approximately 24 cups).
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, checking at 18 minutes for set, springy, and lightly golden quiche bites. Add 2-3 more minutes if needed.
  8. Let the quiche bites cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing carefully with a spatula or butter knife.

Notes

Do not overbake to avoid dry edges and rubbery centers. Pre-cook and drain fillings well to prevent sogginess. Use room temperature eggs for better mixing. Cooling in the pan helps quiches set and makes removal easier. For larger muffin tins, increase baking time to 25-30 minutes.
