These mini quiches are easy to make and the perfect size for kids. It’s also great to pack in a lunchbox or for an on-the-go meal or snack.
Served with grapes, blueberries, hummus and carrots.
Ingredients:
- 1 pie crust, homemade or store-bought
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup small diced broccoli
- 1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded carrot
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, optional
Method:
🥚 Preheat the oven to 375F
🥚 Grease muffin pan with softened butter for easy removal. Set aside
🥚 Add the eggs to a bowl. Beat the eggs and add the rest of the ingredients. Mix to combine.
🥚 Roll the pie crust out so it’s not too thick.
🥚 Use a 1 cup measure or a 3-inch cookie cutter to cut out rounds. If using the cup measure, trace the cup with a knife to cut the rounds out.
🥚 Then, place the rounds in the muffin pan, making sure to push it down against the surfaces to get rid of any air bubbles/pockets.
🥚 Continue this until each section of the muffin pan has a pie crust. Might need to gather dough and re-roll it out again to make more.
🥚 Prick holes on the crust with a fork and bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
🥚 Remove pan from oven and prick with fork to remove air bubbles. (Crust might shrink a bit while baking).
🥚Use a tablespoon measure to scoop some of the egg mixture into the cups making sure to not over-fill them.
Note: Make sure the egg mixture sits in the cups and doesn’t spill over. If it spills over, the crust will stick to the pan.
🥚 Bake, 15-20 minutes or until the pie crust, is golden brown and the egg has cooked and set in the center.
Enjoy!
