Ok, let’s talk about these mini quiche. I kinda love making quiche, especially mini ones. They are really quite adorable. Don’t worry, they are completely simple to prepare too! I’ve got step by step photos to prove it. Any mom would love this for Mother’s Day! Heck, they are even easy enough to make for yourself for Mother’s Day 🙂
Here’s your line up of ingredients. Feel free to play around with whatever vegetables you have in the refrigerator that need using.
How to Make Mini Quiche
You are going to fill mini pie plates with cut pieces of pie crust. I used a store bought pie crust, but use whatever pie crust recipe you’d like. Crimp your edges however you like as well. Little ramekins will work if you don’t have little pie plates. You can even use one big pie plate if you’d like. Just adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Time to saute the vegetables.
Add the broccoli, cook and stir for a good 10 minutes then set the pan aside.
Attach your wire whisk to your mixer and let’s go!
Eggs, eggs and more eggs 🙂 8 to be exact.
A couple pinches of salt please.
Don’t forget the pepper.
Whisk, whisk whisk!
Time to full em’ up. About 3/4 way full.
Like so 🙂
Add your sauteed veggies.
Now add your bacon pieces and some cheese. Time to bake!
Remove from the oven and get ready to indulge 🙂
How fun is this?!
