Should I serve mini quiche warm or cold?

Quiche is delicious served at room temperature, or warm, but I’m partial to warm because the filling is creamier and the crust is soft and flaky. I do not suggest cold, however, because the crust is pretty hard straight out of the refrigerator and the eggs aren’t as creamy.

How do I reheat mini quiche?

To reheat mini quiche, you have a few options: 1.) Oven method: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the mini quiches on a baking sheet and cover them loosely with aluminum foil to prevent them from drying out. Heat them in the oven for about 10-15 minutes or until they are heated through. Remove the foil during the last few minutes to allow the crust to crisp up if desired. 2.) Microwave method: This is a quicker option, but the crust may not be as crispy. Place the mini quiche on a microwave-safe plate and cover it with a microwave-safe lid or microwave-safe plastic wrap. Heat on high for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on the wattage of your microwave. Check the temperature of the quiche to ensure it is heated throughout. 3.) Skillet or stovetop method: If you prefer a slightly crispy crust, you can reheat the mini quiche on a skillet or stovetop. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and place the mini quiche on it. Cover the skillet with a lid to trap the heat and help warm the quiche evenly. Heat for about 3-5 minutes, flipping the quiche halfway through, until it is heated thoroughly. Keep an eye on the quiches to avoid overcooking them. Check the internal temperature with a food thermometer, and when it reaches 165°F (74°C), they're ready.

Can I make mini quiche without crusts?

Yes, you can make mini quiches without crust. Try our Cheddar Chive Egg Bites instead, which are basically crustless quiches.

How many mini quiche should I make per person?

As a general guideline, you can estimate around 2-3 mini quiches per person for appetizers or finger foods. If mini quiches are the main or only food item being served, you might want to increase the portion size and aim for 3-4 mini quiches per person. On the other hand, if there are many other appetizers or a full meal being served, you can reduce the number to 1-2 mini quiches per person.

Instructions

Make It Now:

Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside.
Using a 3-inch biscuit cutter (or a jar if you don’t have one), cut out circles in your pie crusts that are about 3 inches across.
Place them in them in tins and press down gently. Tip: cut a 1/2 slit into the side of the crust. Overlap the cut pieces so the crust fits into the tins more easily.
In each pie crust, place an equal amount of spinach, bacon, and cheese.
In a a 2-cup or larger glass measuring cup with spout, whisk together the milk, eggs, salt and pepper. Mix together VERY well.
Pour mixture into pie shells until filled to the top.
Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the eggs are set in the middle.

Freeze For Later: Follow the cooking instructions and let the quiches cool. Place in an airtight freezer container or plastic bag and freeze.

Prepare From Frozen: Microwave in 30 second increments until warmed through.

Notes/Tips

Make sure to use my trick to make the pie crust fit better into the muffin tins.
Pouring the egg mixture can be tricky. Do it very slowly. If it overflows, it will still be fine!
