Ingredients
For the Crust (OR use 1/2 c leftover mashed potatoes)
- 2 large potato peeled and diced
- salt to taste
- garlic powder to taste
For the Quiche
- 1 c spinach if using frozen spinach make sure it is well thawed, drained, and patted dry, chopped
- ¼ onion minced, sweet
- 6 leaves basil minced, fresh
- 1 garlic minced, clove
- ½ tsp oregano
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 3 egg
- ¾ c milk
- ½ c mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F.
- If making mashed potatoes: Place diced potatoes in a medium saucepan. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Boil potatoes until soft. Drain all but ¼ c of the cooking liquid. Using an electric hand mixer, mash potatoes with garlic and salt to a very smooth consistency.
- Spoon roughly 1 teaspoon of mashed potatoes into the bottom of each section of your greased mini muffin tin. Press to the bottom and slightly up the sides to form a ‘crust’.
- Bake potato crusts for 20 minutes or until they start to turn golden brown, in the preheated oven.
- In a medium bowl, combine dry spinach with onion, basil, garlic, oregano and salt. Toss to mix well.
- In a 2 c liquid measuring cup (or small bowl) beat eggs and milk until well combined.
- When your crusts come out of the oven, immediately measure or pour (this is where the liquid measuring cup will come in handy) roughly 1 Tbsp egg mixture into each cup. Add ½ tsp of spinach mixture and ½ tsp mozzarella cheese to each cup as well. Top off with additional egg mixture if needed.
- Bake mini-quiche 15-20 minutes at 350F, or until they have set and are firm to the touch.
- Let the quiche cool for 5 minutes in the pan on a wire rack before removing the quiche from the pan to cool on the rack.
Notes
- While this recipe is made to be baked in a mini-muffin tin, larger, individual-serving quiche can be made in a regular sized muffin tin. Baking times will just need to be adjusted to be sure the quiche is firm.
