How to customise these mini crustless quiches
Think of this quiche as a mini omelette, simple to make and easy to jazz up!
What can you add to mini crustless quiches?
There are 5 of us in our household all with super different tastes. So this is one of those recipes with a simple base and from there you can add as much or as little extras as you like.
We used bacon, but you could substitute with ham or chicken, and add finely chopped vegetables for more flavour and texture.
Can you add a crust to mini crustless quiches?
In terms of adding a crust, you can simply use premade puff pastry or roll a slice of bread thinly and butter the tin side to create a sort of savoury nest. Thankfully due to some well oiled muffin cups mine came out easily, but I definitely recommend you allow the quiches to mostly cool in the tin if you are finding they are not coming out easily initially.

It is that simple! Just a few easy ingredients and very little time, if you double the batch you can have more to freeze for another day, but they would make a great quick weekend brunch too.

Kayleigh says
I made these for my 9 month old baby tonight and he devoured two for dinner. I subbed the meat for extra veg and added the Norish baby bone broth powder. Great recipe for baby led weaning!
Amelia says
It’s a Kiwi website babe, so just Google the conversion like we have to if we try to cook any of your yummy USA recipes that somehow always call for dried garlic and a tin of cream of chicken soup.
We live in a modern metric world. It’s fun and logical and based on recurring factors of 10.
Nikky says
2nd time making these the Husband loves them for taking to work. I added mozzarella cheese to the top of them and garlic herbs will definitely be making again and again
Helen King says
Can I make these in a silicone muffin tray? If yes would I need to reduce the cooking time?
Susan Hankins says
You said: “Preheat Oven to 180C.” Please add “(350F)” It’s a great recipe. Thanks.
Tanya says
Great recipe Anna. Would you need to reheat these from the fridge or ok to leave to room temp before eating?
justamumnz says
They can be reheated or if from frozen they should be thawed by lunch time in a lunch box, you can add a cooler or ice block if you need.
Rachel says
Did you use a mini muffin pan or regular muffin pan?
justamumnz says
Regular muffin pan
Karen says
I made these for my picnic tomorrow so easy so delicious ?
Debbie says
Quick, easy & delicious! Thank you so much ?
Christine says
Hi – made the quiches in my muffin tin. What you didn’t mention, unless is missed it, was only fill each half way. Wondered why 6 eggs didn’t go far. Otherwise, my husband and friend thought they we delicious at 5:30 in the morning while watching the Euro championship.
Ruth says
Good afternoon, I made your moist chocolate cake for father’s day and it came out very well… it was my first try, thank you very much for your recipes.
Cherie says
You can even cook these in a pie maker. They turn out just as yummy. I thought pie makers were for pies only, but you can cook desserts, cakes even donuts in them.
justamumnz says
That’s a great tip thank you! Those little pie makers are so handy
Vicki says
Hi! I made these for a potluck brunch, and people wanted the recipe. They were very popular. I have them in the oven now with broccoli and bell pepper. Thanks so much!
