🛒 Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup milk (any kind – dairy or plant-based)
- 1 cup diced vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, onions, etc.)
- ½ cup cooked ham or sausage (optional)

- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 sheet of phyllo or puff pastry (optional, for crust)
- Cooking spray or olive oil (for greasing the pan)
🍳 How to Make Muffin Tin Mini Quiches
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even baking.
Step 2: Prep the Muffin Tin
Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 3: Add Pastry (Optional)
Cut pastry into 12 small circles slightly larger than the muffin cups. Press one piece into each cup for a flaky, golden crust.
Step 4: Whisk the Eggs
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Step 5: Add Fillings
Stir in your diced vegetables, cheese, and optional cooked meat. Mix until evenly distributed.
Step 6: Fill the Muffin Cups
Pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling about 2/3 full to allow room for the quiches to rise.
Step 7: Bake
Place the tin in the oven and bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the center is set (no jiggle).
Step 8: Cool & Serve
Let the quiches cool for 5 minutes, then gently remove using a knife or small spatula. Serve warm or at room temperature.
