Mini Vegetable Quiche Recipe Ingredients

Making mini quiches is easy! There’s a new product for mini pie crusts – but you can always make your own. These are fun to customize as well if you have folks that like different things in their quiche!

  • 14 mini pie crusts – these are a fairly new product – they’re the same as the other refrigerated pie crusts but they have perforated edges for 7 mini crusts in one pie round. If you can’t find them – you can cut out your own mini crusts from pie crust dough.
  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 oz. mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 bunch asparagus, top halves and in 1” pieces
  • 2 cups Kale, leaves removed from stems and diced
  • 4 oz Colby jack cheese, small dice
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups half & half – you can also use a mix of heavy cream & regular milk if you like
  • Salt & Pepper

Recipe Variations for Quiche

  • Spinach – Swap out the kale with spinach if you like that better!
  • More Veggies – you can go ahead and add more veggies like onion, broccoli, tomatoes and bell pepper – I was sticking with spring veggies for this recipe
  • Protein – I’m a sucker for ham, sausage or bacon in my quiche!
  • Cheese – Change up the cheese – you can use mozzarella or cheddar cheese, goat cheese or feta!

How to make Mini Quiches

A muffin tin is your new BFF! And don’t throw away that leftover pie crust – you can make four more mini quiches!

  1. Set out pie crusts – needs to be at room temperature. Preheat oven to 350.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  3. Saute mushrooms and asparagus until slightly softened – 3-4 minutes. Add Kale and stir until it wilts. 
  4. Place mini crust circles in muffin tins. I was able to use leftover crust to make 4 more crusts and put them in silicone muffin cups
  5. Place 3-4 pieces of cheese in bottom of crusts. Add sautéed veggies into pie crust.
  6. Whisk eggs, cream, salt & pepper in a bowl. Using a cookie dough scoop, pour egg mixture into muffin cups over the cheese & veggies into each of the pie crusts
  7. Place muffin pan in oven and bake at 350º, uncovered for 35 minutes. Silicone cups will take 5 minutes longer.
  8. Cool quiche for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips, Tricks & FAQs

Should vegetables be cooked before putting in quiche?

Most of the time I would say yes. I like to saute them in butter to add a little more flavor and soften them up a bit. You don’t need to cook them all the way through – but just soften them up.

Can I use milk instead of heavy cream for quiche?

Not as a 1:1 swap. You need the thickness of the cream. Half and half is the best to use.

Should you cover quiche while baking?

Nope!

Can I use silicone baking cups instead of a regular metal muffin pan?

You can – but I did find that the crusts don’t crisp up the same. I would suggest to either pre-bake the crusts for 5-7 minutes OR bake 5 minutes longer.

How do you store and reheat leftover quiche?

Store leftovers in an airtight container (I like these glass ones) in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can freeze up to three months. Reheat in the air fryer at 300º for 4 minutes from refrigerator or microwave for 45 seconds.
