Spinach, Brie, and Bacon Mini Quiche

A great bite-sized treat! Switch this up by using blue cheese, gouda, or havarti to create different flavor profiles. Omit the bacon for a vegetarian dish.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    12 servings

Ingredients

5 large Eggland’s Best eggs
1/4 cup fat-free half-and-half
1/4 cup skim milk
1/2 cup Brie cheese, crumbled
1/4 small onion, shredded
1 cup fresh spinach leaves, washed and diced
4 slices turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 refrigerated pie crusts

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F; spray a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

    Step 2

    In a medium-size bowl, whisk eggs together with milk, half-and-half, salt and pepper; set aside.

    Step 3

    In a small skillet over medium heat, cook turkey bacon slices until crispy; drain, cool, and dice or crumble into small pieces and set aside.

    Step 4

    Wash spinach well and pat dry; chop into small pieces and set aside.

    Step 5

    Using a hand-held grater, grate onion and Brie cheese.

    Step 6

    Add spinach, bacon, onion, and Brie to egg mixture and blend well.

    Step 7

    Roll out refrigerated pie crust and cut in 3-inch circles; line muffin tins with pie crust.

    Step 8

    Spoon egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling 3/4 full; place in oven and cook for 25 minutes or until eggs are set.

    Step 9

    Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

  2. Note

    Step 10

    You may have extra egg mixture depending on how high the muffin tins are filled. Repeat steps above to create more quiches to finish off egg mixture.

  3. Tip

    Step 11

    You can also replace refrigerated pie crust with puff pastry dough or even breadstick dough. Simply roll out your dough of choice and follow the cooking instructions on the package if any pre-baking is required, then follow recipe instructions.

  4. Step 12

    Garnish with your favorite fresh herbs.
