Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup (120 ml) milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- ½ cup (60 g) shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup (70 g) chopped spinach (fresh or thawed from frozen)
- ½ cup (75 g) chopped bell peppers (any color)
- ¼ cup (40 g) chopped red onion
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- Optional: ¼ cup (40 g) cooked crumbled bacon or diced ham
Instructions
- Preparation: Warm the oven to 375F (190C) and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray or silicone liners.
- Mixing Base: Thoroughly whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a spacious mixing bowl until smooth and uniform in texture.
- Ingredient Integration: Gently fold chopped vegetables, shredded cheese, and protein (if desired) into the egg mixture, ensuring even distribution throughout the base.
- Portioning: Carefully allocate the egg mixture into muffin cups, filling each approximately three-quarters full to allow proper rising during baking.
- Baking and Finishing: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and cook for 18-22 minutes until the centers appear firm and the tops develop a delicate golden hue. After removing from the oven, allow the quiche muffins to rest for 5 minutes before extracting from the tin. These can be enjoyed warm immediately or cooled and stored in the refrigerator for future consumption.
Notes
- Swap veggies, cheese, and protein to match dietary preferences or what’s in your fridge, making these muffins incredibly versatile.
- Pat chopped vegetables dry before adding to prevent excess moisture that can make the muffins watery or dense.
- Use a measuring cup or ice cream scoop for consistent, uniform muffin sizes that cook evenly and look professional.
- These quiche muffins freeze beautifully for up to 3 months, perfect for quick breakfasts or grab-and-go snacks when reheated.
