Mini Breakfast Quiches – Recipe
Mini Quiches are a perfect addition to your family’s breakfast menu or a group brunch.
You can make them vegetarian, or add your favorite meat, such as bacon chips, cooked ground turkey, ham, Italian Sausage, etc.
I made mine with leftover ham and all the remaining egg whites I had from making a double batch of Khrusty (Angel Wings).
You can also use your favorite veggie. I used red and green peppers and onions. I would have loved some mushrooms but did not have any on hand at this time.
Don’t they look yummy??? They were excellent. Great to prepare ahead and freeze for a quick breakfast on the go.
I froze mine for over a month, thawed them in the fridge overnight, and heated one in the microwave and one in the toaster oven. They both tasted freshly made. The one from the toaster oven had a crispier texture.
This recipe was shared with me by a young lady who loves to cook healthy meals and enjoys trying new recipes.
This recipe yields 6 muffin-size quiches.
This is how they look just baked; nice and puffy.
Don’t be disappointed when they drop down after cooling off. That is perfectly normal.
