Back to School Crustless Ham and Cheese Mini Quiches


  • Author: Lucia
  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Description

Grab-and-go, freezer-friendly mini quiches that are protein-packed, zero crust, and perfect for busy school mornings. They reheat beautifully and taste great warm or cold.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup diced ham (about 150g)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (about 100g)
  • Non-stick cooking spray or butter (for greasing)
  • Optional: 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
  • Optional: 1/4 cup finely diced onions
  • Optional: 1/2 cup crumbled bacon bits
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Dice ham and any vegetables. If using onions or peppers, sauté them until soft and moisture has evaporated, then let cool.
  3. Generously grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk eggs until smooth and frothy. Add milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder; whisk until fully combined.
  5. Divide ham, cheese, and vegetables evenly among the 12 muffin cups.
  6. Pour the egg mixture into each cup, filling them about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until edges are set and tops are lightly golden. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
  8. Let quiches cool in the pan for 3-5 minutes to firm up, then remove.
  9. Serve warm, or cool completely for freezing.

Notes

Pre-cook any vegetables before adding to prevent soggy quiches. Do not overfill the muffin tins. For best results, shred your own cheese as pre-shredded cheese contains anti-caking agents. Quiches can be frozen individually for up to 3 months.
