Mini Quiche 4 Ways

Skip the store-bought and make your own Mini Quiche! Try these 4 tasty combos or choose your own adventure. Make ahead/freezer friendly and great for kids!

I remember trying Mini Quiche appetizers as a child (the frozen, store-bought kind from Sam’s Club) and being impressed.

They were so fancy. And so tiny. And so delicious.

After moving to California in 2011, I sought solace in this comfort food from my past. Unfortunately, the Sam’s Club out here didn’t have any so I had to start making them myself.

I’m still making them almost 6 years later, just for the fun of it.

How do you make Mini Quiche?

It’s simple, really.

1. Cut store-bought pastry crust into circles
2. Press into a muffin tin
3. Add your favorite toppings
4. Smother in cheese and egg
5. Bake to golden brown, bubbly perfection

The recipe below is for 48 Mini Quiche total, 12 of each of the 4 varieties shown in the photo above (Spinach, Bacon, Mushroom, and Ham). You can mix and match them however you want to!

How long does it take to bake Mini Quiche?

These bake up in 25 to 30 minutes at 375 degrees. If you freeze them ahead of time, bake them straight from the freezer and add 5 minutes to the baking time.

It’s hard to pick a favorite out of these four, but I’ve always been partial to Quiche Lorraine. The Mini Bacon Quiche version below is closest to that. You just can’t go wrong with a Mini Breakfast Quiche!

How do you make a simple quiche?

The ham and cheese version is the most basic (especially if you have leftover ham).

For vegetarians, the Mushroom Quiche is pretty easy too (you chop the mushrooms, but they go in raw). Be sure to choose a cheese with vegetarian rennet if that’s your thing.

There’s something here for everyone! Especially me.

2. Alternatively, in a small saucepan, place the spinach with 1/4 cup of water and sauté over medium high heat until wilted. Place spinach between two kitchen towels or paper towels and remove as much water as possible.
