Mini Quiche – the BEST & easiest quiche you’ll ever make, in mini size. So creamy, rich, delicious with this fool-proof mini quiche recipe!!
Quiche is French pastry crust filled with savory egg custard made with cheese, eggs, ham, meat or vegetables.
My co-worker introduced me to quiche many years ago and I have been hooked on quiche since.
Quiche is something that I can eat on a daily basis, with some salad, and preferably with a serving of French onion soup.
I simply adore the crumbly texture of the pastry crust and the rich, creamy, and utterly delicious filling.
If you eat out or buy from French bakeries, quiche can be quite big.
That’s why I love mini quiches—miniature quiche filled with the same ingredients albeit a much smaller size.
The smaller package makes mini quiches a perfect party food that everyone can just pick up and savor as a finger food, anytime of the year!
Another bonus of being small, even the picky toddlers and eaters at your home can enjoy it.
It’s packed with lots of high-energy ingredients, but more importantly, they are absolutely appetizing and I am sure that the kids will enjoy it as much as an adults.
Mini Quiches Recipe
Mini Quiche – the BEST & easiest quiche you’ll ever make, in mini size. So creamy, rich, delicious with this fool-proof mini quiche recipe!!!
Ingredients
- 2-3 slices deli ham diced
- 3 scallions chopped (save 1 teaspoon for garnish)
- 5 cherry tomatoes diced
- 1 extra large eggs or 2 regular-sized eggs
- 3/8 cup 90g milk
- vegetable oil for greasing
- 11-12 oz ready rolled short/pie pastry thawed (follow the instruction on the package)
- All-purpose flour for dusting
- 1/3 cup grated cheese cheddar/mozzarella
Instructions
-
Mix together the diced ham, chopped scallions and diced cherry tomatoes in a bowl. In another bowl, beat the egg and milk with a fork. Chill these ingredients as you prepare the pastry.
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F (210°C). Grease a 12-tin mini muffin pan.
-
Sprinkle a little all purpose flour on surface, roll out the pastry. If the pastry cracks when rolling out, use your fingers and slightly pinch to seal the crack.
-
Use a 3" (7.5cm) round cutter. Cut out 12 circles and place each in a cup of the pan. Gently press down with your finger to form a shallow cup.
-
Divide the mixture of ham, scallions and tomatoes equally among the 12 cups. Fill each cup with the egg and milk mixture until 80-90% full. Sprinkle the cheese on top.
-
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the mini quiches are set and golden. Garnish with some chopped scallions. Serve warm.
Recipe Notes
If you don't have a 3" cookie cutter, use the rim of a drinking glass or container that is slightly wider than the cup in the pan.

ItalianGirlCooks
Very nice simple recipe…and definitely a crowd pleaser!
Robin
Only 1 egg for 12 regular size cupcakes? It doesn’t seem like enough. I have made a similar recipe before, no crust to cut back on calories.
Rasa Malaysia
It’s 1 large egg or two smaller eggs. You use mini muffin pan.
Lynn
Hi Bee,
1. What kind of milk should we use?
Low fat or full cream etc?
2. Which brand of ready rolled pastry did you use?
Can we find it at FairPrice, Singapore?
Rasa Malaysia
Any milk is fine. Pillsbury rolled pastry.
Brenda
Any other alternative beside scallop?
Rasa Malaysia
There is no scallop in the mini quiches. It’s scallions.

Looks delicious! I will definitely try out this recipe :)
Jayne
This is so cute. I like that I can use a store-bought pastry crust and then just pour in the egg mixture. Cuts a lot of prep time.
anjali
Love this! Can you make these in advance and re-heat them?
Rasa Malaysia
Yes, you can re-heat them but the pastry may not be as crispy/flaky.
anjali
Thanks for the response!:-)

hmm. For parties. I’m not a party guy, and I certainly don’t like the party life style. But when having guests over i think i would have made Chicken Satay skewers with cashew nut sauce (tastes equally good with cashews, but doesn’t cause me any allergy), Yakitori skewers, Chicken Tikka skewers. anything that’s easy to cook for many people.
Anything BBQ-able tend to be a preference to serve:)
Tom Kha Gai have also been a hit on cold winter days as it’s easy to prepare for several people as it’s boiled.
