Ingredients
- 12 eggs lightly beaten (see note 1)
- 1 cup milk (see note 2)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 pie crusts thawed (homemade or from 1 box store-bought)
- 8 ounces cooked ham diced (about 1 cup)
- 8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese (about 2 cups)
- 2 scallions thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Coat two muffin tins with nonstick spray. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 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 1/4 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.

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.
- 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
