Mini Ham and Cheese Breakfast Quiche

Hello Villagers! With four kids and a crazy schedule,  I am always on the lookout for easy breakfast options. Breakfast is such an important meal to fuel both myself and my children before school. I adore these mini breakfast quiche. They are the perfect size for tiny hands and kiddos will gobble them up. They do take a little work on the front end, but can be made in large batches and frozen for later.

I’m posting a simple ham and cheese version of these breakfast quiche, but you can really throw in any meat or vegetables that you like. Begin your prep by sprinkling a little flour onto the surface you will be working on. Roll out your pre-prepared pie crust. Now, some of you may have a fantastic homemade pie crust that you’d like to use and I say go for it! I however, love the pre-made pie crust that you can find in the store. My grandmother also uses it and if it’s good enough for her, then it’s good enough for me!  

Using a 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter, cut 24 circles out of the pie crust. If you just remembered that your biscuit cutter was converted to an egg-shaped cookie cutter last Easter, then rummage through your drink-ware cabinets to find a glass or plastic cup that is close to that size. Many of the smaller kid cups will work. Once you have your circles, press each circle into an individual hole of a mini muffin pan.

Next, add a little of the ham to each of the holes. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the ham. 

Mix together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into each of the muffin tin holes. 

If you plan to eat the breakfast quiche right away, bake them in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. If you are freezing them for later, wrap the pan with plastic wrap and freeze. Once frozen you can pop them out of the pan and store them in the freezer using a freezer-safe tupperware container or a ziplock bag. When you are ready to cook your frozen quiche, place them on a sheet pan and bake from frozen in a 350 degree oven for 35-40 minutes. 

Enjoy!
