Mini Quiche, Crustless
Description
Mini Crustless Quiche combines eggs and half and half seasoned with garlic and onion powders, salt, and pepper. Fresh ingredients like spinach (well drained), ham, cheddar cheese, and diced tomato add flavor, texture, and color. The mixture is divided into greased muffin cups and baked until just set with lightly browned edges, providing a soft yet structured bite.
The quiches are served warm or at room temperature, making them convenient for breakfast, brunch, or snacks. Their manageable size is good for portion control or variety on a platter. The savory balance between the creamy custard, salty ham, sharp cheddar, and fresh tomato offers a fulfilling yet mild flavor profile.
For best results, thoroughly drain spinach to avoid excess moisture that could make the quiches watery. Let them rest briefly after baking to firm up and ease removal from the pan. They can be frozen wrapped airtight for 1–2 months and reheated for easy meal prep.
Ingredients
- 4 large egg
- 2 cups half and half cream
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp table salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 5 oz spinach defrosted, squeeze-dried of all liquid, frozen, chopped
- 1 ½ cups cheddar cheese shredded, sharp
- 1 cup ham diced, fully cooked
- 1 cup tomato seeded and diced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F, with rack on lower middle position. Lightly grease muffin pan. Set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, half and half, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Add spinach, cheese, ham, and tomatoes. Stir gently to combine.
- Divide mixture into greased muffin pan and bake 25 minutes or just until knife inserted in center comes out clean and edges are golden brown. Let rest at room temp for a minute or two before serving.
Notes
- Grease the muffin pan well, even if non-stick, to facilitate easy removal and achieve a golden crust edge.
- Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from defrosted spinach to prevent watery quiches.
- Let quiches rest in the pan for a few minutes after baking to help them hold their shape and ease removal.
- These crustless mini quiches freeze well when wrapped airtight, good for 1 to 2 months.
