Ingredients and substitutions:
- Eggs – you can also use just the egg whites or an egg substitute if preferred.
- Broccoli – veggies like chopped kale, bok choy, or even asparagus can work great if wanting to replace broccoli.
- Red Peppers – any colour of bell pepper can work. Green and yellow will offer a bit of a sweeter taste.
- Jalapeños – serrano pepper or poblano peppers are good substitutes if you enjoy the heat. If spice isn't your thing, you can add additional bell peppers instead.
- Red onions – yellow or white onions will also work. You can use leeks or chives if onions are not accessible to you.
- Shredded cheddar cheese – you can shred the cheese by hand or use the pre-shredded cheese. Any other hard cheese can work too, like shredded gouda or colby cheese.
- Milk – any milk can be used, including plant based milks like unsweetened almond milk.
- Salt & pepper – use to taste.
Storing and reheating
These mini quiches can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. Ensure that the quiches are completely cool before placing them in the fridge. To enjoy these bites warm, place them in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, or until hot. This also makes these great for school/work lunches or as a quick on-the-go breakfast. You can pack these in a ziplock bag or a container to take with you.
Freezing and reheating
You can also freeze the quiches in batches. Once they're fully cooked and have cooled completely, you can place them in a large ziplock bag and store them for up to 2 months. Once you're ready to eat them, you can defrost as many as you'd like the evening before you plan to eat them. If you prefer them warm, you can reheat them in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, or until hot once they are defrosted.

I absolutely love those mini quiches! They are so great for breakfast on the go, and my kids love them too! I’d love to try these!

Cristin Wondergem says
I love the idea of mini quiches! Especially for easter! I am going to have to make these and take them as an appetizer. I also like that they are mini because they make for the perfect on the go breakfast for hectic or lazy mornings. I also love that they are crustless, I am gf, so finding the right kind of pie crust is one of the more difficult things to find.
This is a great one!
Taylor Stinson says
Aww thanks for the kind words Cristin!! I’m not gluten free but I love that these are low-carb and full of protein, whether for breakfast or as an appetizer!
