Vegetables: Choose any colorful vegetables like bell peppers or spinach; sauté them lightly for better flavor.

Let’s Make it together

Prepping your mini breakfast quiches requires just a few straightforward steps that bring joy along the way!

Gather Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients on your kitchen counter so everything is within reach. This step saves time and keeps your workspace organized.

Preheat Your Oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your quiches bake evenly and puff up nicely.

Prepare Your Muffin Tin: Grease a muffin tin with nonstick spray or oil. You want easy removal later—trust me on this one!

Whisk Eggs and Milk Together: In a bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until well combined. The mixture should look smooth with no lumps—this is where the fluffiness begins!

Add Fillings of Choice: Fold in chopped vegetables, cheese, salt, and pepper into the egg mixture gently. Do not overmix; we want those lovely little pockets of flavor!

Bake Until Golden Brown: Pour the mixture into each muffin tin cup about 3/4 full. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown on top and slightly firm to touch.

These mini breakfast quiches are not just bites of yumminess but also a canvas for creativity. You can play around with different fillings every week—what’s not to love?

Once cooled slightly, take out these delightful treats using a fork or small spatula and watch as they slide right out. Serve them warm or let them cool completely before storing them in the fridge for quick snacks later.

Now that you’ve mastered making mini breakfast quiches, you’ll find yourself whipping them up weekly! Enjoy experimenting with different combinations—your taste buds will thank you!
