In this mini quiche recipe, flaky pie crust is filled with a simple egg filling that's easy to customize using your favorite mix-ins. Perfect for breakfast on-the-go or holiday brunches!
1 to 2tablespoonsfinely chopped green onions(5 to 10 grams; I prefer to use 2 tablespoons)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 12-count muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Roll the pie crusts out to ⅛-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Using a 3.5-inch cookie cutter (or a cup) cut out 12 circles from the pie crusts. Re-roll any scrap pieces of pie dough as needed to cut out the circles.
Place each circle of pie crust in each cavity of the prepared muffin pan. Gently press the dough down and around the sides, making sure the dough fits snuggly in the pan. Transfer the muffin pan to the refrigerator while you make the filling.
In a large mixing bowl or measuring cup, lightly beat the eggs. Add the heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper and whisk until just combined. Make sure not to over beat the eggs to avoid incorporating too much air.
Remove the muffin pan from the refrigerator. Sprinkle the bacon, shredded cheese, and chopped green onions evenly between all 12 pie crusts in the muffin pan. Then, carefully pour the egg mixture over the mix-ins, filling each one almost to the top. If needed, use a toothpick to move the mix-ins around so they’re evenly distributed.
Bake for 18 to 23 minutes or until the tops of the quiches are firm and set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and transfer the pan to a wire rack. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and transfer the mini quiches back to the wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
