Ingredients:
- 1 package dough (2 cakes)
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or Gruyere)
- 1/4 cup diced cooked bacon or ham
- 1/4 cup chopped veggies (spinach, mushrooms, bell peppers, etc.)
Instructions:
- Prep the Muffin Tin: Lightly grease a muffin tin or line it with paper cases for easy removal of the quiches after baking.
- Shape the Dough: Roll out the dough on a floured surface and use a cookie cutter to cut circles slightly larger than the muffin tin holes. Press each dough circle gently into the tin.
- Mix the Filling: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the Quiches: Evenly distribute the shredded cheese, diced bacon or ham, and chopped veggies over the dough bases in the muffin tin.
- Bake: Place the tin in a preheated oven and bake according to the dough package instructions, or until the quiches are golden and set in the middle.
- Cool and Serve: Let the quiches cool for a few minutes. Use a knife to run around the edges of the pans to loosen them, then carefully remove the mini quiches. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Storage Information:
- Refrigeration: Store any leftover quiches in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freezing: To freeze, place cooled quiches on a baking sheet and freeze until firm, about 1 hour. Transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container and store for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.

These mini quiches are a delightful and easy-to-make snack that combines rich flavors and a flaky, buttery crust. With endless options for customization, they are a perfect dish for any time of day.
