Storage/Reheating

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, mini quiches can be baked a day ahead and stored in the fridge or frozen for longer storage.

Can I use muffin liners?

It’s better to grease the muffin tin directly. Liners may stick to the crust or make removal tricky.

Can I make these crustless?

Absolutely. Just grease the muffin cups well and proceed with the same steps using only the filling and egg mixture.

How do I prevent the crust from getting soggy?

Pre-bake the crusts for 5 minutes before adding fillings if you prefer a crispier bottom.

What’s the best way to cut the crust?

Use a cookie cutter or the rim of a drinking glass that’s slightly larger than the muffin cups.

Can I use egg whites only?

Yes, but you’ll need more egg whites to replace the whole eggs. Use about 2 egg whites per whole egg.

Are these good for kids?

Definitely. Kids love the small size, and you can easily adapt the fillings to include their favorites.

How do I keep the quiches from sticking?

Use nonstick spray or brush with oil/butter and allow them to cool slightly before removing from the pan.

Can I use puff pastry instead of pie crust?

Yes, puff pastry gives a lighter, flakier texture and works great for mini quiches.

What can I serve with these?

Serve alongside fresh fruit, a salad, or a waffle board for a complete brunch spread.
