Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- Eggs (6 large) – The foundation of your quiche muffins.
- Milk (½ cup) – Makes the muffins light and fluffy.
- Salt & Black Pepper – To taste.
- Olive Oil (1 tbsp) – For sautéing veggies.
Filling Options (Choose Your Favorites!)
- Meat: Chicken sausage (½ cup, cooked & crumbled) or turkey bacon (½ cup, chopped).
- Vegetables: Bell peppers (½ cup, diced), spinach (½ cup, chopped), onions (¼ cup, diced), mushrooms (½ cup, sliced).
- Cheese: Cheddar (½ cup, shredded), feta (¼ cup, crumbled), or mozzarella (½ cup, shredded).
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven & Prep the Muffin Tin
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray or line with muffin liners.
Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add your diced veggies (bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, etc.) and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 3: Whisk the Egg Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 4: Assemble the Muffins
Evenly distribute the cooked vegetables, cooked meat, and cheese into the muffin cups. Pour the egg mixture over the fillings, filling each cup about ¾ full.
Step 5: Bake the Muffins
Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the egg muffins are set and slightly golden on top.
Step 6: Cool & Serve
Let the quiche muffins cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the tin. Serve warm or let them cool completely for storage.

- Mix & Match Fillings: Try different combinations for variety.
- Use a Silicone Muffin Tin: Makes it easier to remove the muffins.
