Ingredient notes
- Eggs: 3 cups egg white may be substituted for the whole eggs.
- Milk: Heavy cream or half-and-half may be substituted for the milk.
Step-by-step instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Coat two muffin tins with nonstick spray. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Unroll pie crusts. Using a 3-inch round cutter, cut 12 rounds per crust (you may have to re-roll the pie crust to get all the rounds).
- Press into prepared muffin tins. Place one tablespoon each ham and cheese into each muffin. Divide scallions evenly among all muffins. Pour egg mixture evenly over all 24 cups, filling to within ¼ inch of the top.
- Bake at 375 degrees or until golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes (remove a few to check that the crust is cooked completely on the bottom). Cool slightly and serve warm.
Recipe tips and variations
- Yield: This recipe makes 24 muffin-tin-sized quiche muffins.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Freezer: Cool completely, then freeze on a plate or tray until frozen solid. Transfer to a freezer-safe bag and label. To reheat, bake straight from the oven in a 400-degree oven for 5 to 10 minutes. Or, microwave individual quiche muffins for about 2 minutes.
- Mini quiche: These tiny appetizers are 2-3 bites each and perfect for parties with lots of choices on the buffet.
- Quiche Lorraine: This full-sized quiche is made in a pie plate and perfect for slicing wedges.
- Crustless egg muffins: These egg cups are the muffin-sized without a crust.
- Flavors: Aim for 3-4 cups filling ingredients total depending on what you choose. Some of my favorite combinations are:
- Cooked bacon and cheddar cheese
- Sun-dried tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella cheese
- Roasted red peppers and feta cheese
- Blanched asparagus, lemon zest, and Parmesan cheese

These are great. I made 1/2 the recipe. 6 had bacon and shallot and 6 were vegetarian using sauteed mushroom, and roasted red pepper. I used cheddar cheese in all. I think you could substitute whatever you like or have on hand. Everyone loved. Will definitely make again.
Hi Ann! Absolutely! So happy everyone loved it! – Meggan
it was great
These turned out perfectly!
Hi making the quiche muffins for a shower can i put them in a sterno to keep warm? If so do i warm them first I will be making the day before the shower.
Hi Deborah, I don’t think it would be an issue to keep the quiche muffins warm in a chaffing dish with a water bath over sterno warmers. I definitely would reheat them first as sterno’s are great for keeping things warm, but not warming them up. I hope you have a great shower! – Meggan
Is it possible to prep these ahead of time the day before and then bake the next morning?
Hi Allison, these can be made ahead of time! After baking them, cool and store in an airtight container and freeze. They can be reheated in a 400-degree oven for 5-10 minutes, or microwaved for about 2 minutes. – Meggan
Hi, I made this today and they taste amazing. I made gluten-free crust and added bacon and mushrooms and Havarti cheese. Im in LOVE with them, cant stop eating them. I was just wondering how I should store them if I don’t want to freeze them and how long will they last?
Hi Emma! Sounds delicious! They can be stored in an airtight container or zip top bag for up to 4 days. Take care – Meggan
