Mini Phyllo Quiche Cups

Mini Phyllo Quiche Cups are bite-sized savory pastries made by filling pre-made phyllo dough cups with a whisked egg and half-and-half mixture, combined with various chopped vegetables, cheeses, or meats. These small quiches bake to a tender, custardy interior with a crisp, flaky phyllo shell. Their size and customizable fillings make them ideal for brunch gatherings, snacks, or party appetizers.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pre-heat oven or toaster oven to 385°F.
  2. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and group the cups very close together so they don't fan out into fillo discs as they cook. I use a small baking sheet when I'm only making a few and a large one when we're making these for a family brunch!
  3. Use cooked veggies if you prefer them soft, or grab your favorite raw veggies if you like the crunch. I usually have a boatload of leftovers in my fridge so I love using them up in these little breakfast bites! I consider it foodie upcycling, hah!
  4. Whisk together your egg and half and half [see below for subsitutions] very well and set aside. I use a little hand-cranked mixer on mine but you can do this by hand as well. Whisking til frothy will help this pour the easiest for ya!
  5. Line the bottom of each fillo cup with your mix-ins then use a spouted measuring cup to pour the egg into each cup. For sure grab a spouted measuring cup to do your pouring, it'll help control how much egg goes into each phyllo cup!
  6. Top with cheese and your favorite toppings.
  7. Bake on the center rack for 10-11 minutes.

Notes

  • Pre-made mini phyllo cups can be found in the freezer section alongside pie crusts and puff pastry.
  • The recipe quantities correspond to one 15-cup package; scale ingredients proportionally for larger batches.
  • Limit to about two mix-ins per phyllo cup to maintain balance and texture.
  • Consider trying different topping combinations for variety, such as sausage with cheddar or jalapeño with feta and cilantro.
