Ingredients
Scale
Quiche Base
- 8 Eggs
- ½ cup Heavy whipping cream
- ⅔ cup Instant potato flakes
- Salt and ground black pepper to taste
Fillings
- 1 lb Bulk sausage
- 1 cup Shredded Swiss cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar cheese
- ½ cup Chopped green onion
- Cooking spray (for greasing muffin cups)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Muffin Cups: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Lightly grease 36 mini muffin cups with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook Sausage: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook and crumble the bulk sausage until evenly browned, which takes about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and drain excess grease to avoid greasy quiches.
- Distribute Fillings: Evenly distribute the cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded Swiss cheese, and chopped green onion among the prepared mini muffin cups.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, instant potato flakes, and heavy whipping cream until smooth. Season the mixture with salt and ground black pepper to your taste.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and cheese in each muffin cup, filling them nearly to the top.
- Bake the Quiches: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 22 minutes or until the quiches are set in the center and have a lightly golden top.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the mini quiches to cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the cups and serving.
Notes
- Instant potato flakes add a delicate texture and help bind the filling without a crust.
- These mini quiches can be made ahead and reheated for a quick breakfast or snack.
- Use turkey sausage for a leaner option or substitute cheeses to alter flavor.
- Make sure to drain cooked sausage well to avoid excess grease in your quiches.
- They freeze well; store in an airtight container and thaw before reheating.
