Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup small-curd cottage cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (sharp cheddar or cheddar-mozzarella blend)
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon or ham, chopped (turkey bacon optional)
  • 1 cup finely chopped vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, mushrooms; fresh or thawed frozen)
  • 1/4 cup milk (whole or 2%; dairy-free options like oat or almond milk can substitute)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp fresh herbs, chopped (optional; parsley, chives, or dill)
  • Non-stick cooking spray or butter for greasing muffin tin

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to reach temperature, about 10 minutes.
  2. Grease the mini muffin tin thoroughly with non-stick spray or softened butter.
  3. Cook and prep fillings: cook bacon until crispy and chop finely; sauté veggies until tender and drain excess moisture.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs and milk until combined but not frothy, about 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Fold in cottage cheese and shredded cheese gently without overmixing.
  6. Add cooked fillings and fresh herbs; fold together evenly.
  7. Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full using a spoon or small ladle.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes until quiches puff up and turn lightly golden; a toothpick inserted should come out clean.
  9. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from the tin to set and ease removal.

Notes

Do not overbeat eggs to keep quiches tender. Drain veggies well to avoid sogginess. Use small-curd cottage cheese for creaminess. Grease pan generously to prevent sticking. If quiches seem wet, bake a few extra minutes. Let cool before removing to prevent breakage.
