Mini Crustless Quiche Ingredients Notes
- Olive oil – This is for greasing the muffin tray holes to stop the quiches sticking

- Milk – Whichever type you have is fine
- Mixed veg – Whatever you fancy! You could try onion, mushrooms, peppers, courgettes, broccoli, peas etc
- Cherry tomatoes – Chop these in half or how you like them
- Cheddar cheese – This needs to be grated
How to make Mini Crustless Quiches
- Grease a 12 hole muffin tray well with olive oil, and put your sliced ham on the bottom and sides of the base.
- Beat the eggs and milk together in a jug.
- Put a little of the vegetables in each hole, then pour in some of the egg mixture until evenly divided between each quiche.
- Top them each with half a tomato and some cheese.

FAQs
Yes! The beauty of serving up Crustless Quiches is not only are they easier to make and healthier, they’re also gluten free.
The cooked quiches should be golden on top and cooked through but still a little wobbly.

I want to try the mini crustless quiches but wondered if I could replace some ( half or more??) of the milk with cottage cheese as I only use almond milk and I’m not sure if that would work flavour wise.
Also we don’t eat ham. Could I use chorizo/salami or would that be too greasy?
Loved the. MARRY ME CHICKEN
Always love your resepise , your version of marry me chicken is the best, thanks Tony
Perfect for my kayaking trips with the girls (one of which is celiac) They freeze and thaw great.
I made these this morning and they were delicious..but.. I am not sure if I misunderstood your choice of words, but when you referred to them as “mini crustless quiches”, did you mean to use mini muffin tins? I filled a 12 cup mini muffin tin and still had WAY too much left over egg, so was also able to fill a 6 muffin full sized tray by adding two more eggs and some more milk. Please clarify – is this recipe to be made in full size muffin tins? Or the mini muffin tins?
They are using full sized muffin tins. They are called mini because they are mini quiches. Quiches are traditionally the size of a pie.
Love these for picnics on a no carb day!
These look delicious. Would they freeze ok? I like to make things ahead for my little one and take it out of the freezer the night before I need it.
These look like super little parcels! I hate taking sandwiches to work but I would happily take some of these to scoff at lunchtime. I bet my colleagues would want some too! 🙂
It’s all going to be fine! My girls start on Monday too, and although part of me will be skipping away from the school gates, there is a part that is incredulous that my babies are starting school. Where does the time go?! X
That’s exactly how I feel, I can’t believe it. It’s going well so far, hurrah! Thanks for your comment 🙂
These look fab! Brilliant lunch box treats or after school snacks! I shall definitely give these a go when my boys go back to school 🙂
