How To Make Mini Quiches

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan generously with nonstick spray or butter.
2. Place 1 frozen tater tot crown into each cup. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until just softened (not browned).

3. Using a tamper (floured) or spoon, press the tots firmly down and slightly up the sides to form a cup. Return to oven and bake 8–10 more minutes, until lightly golden and set. Lower oven temperature to 375°F.

4. Evenly distribute the cheese and bacon into the muffin wells. 

5. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy whipping cream, salt, and black pepper.
6. Carefully spoon the egg mixture into each tater tot crust, filling about ¾ full. 

7. Bake 14–16 minutes, or until the centers are set, tops are lightly puffed, and there’s no jiggle in the middle.
8. Let cool in the pan for 3-5 minutes. Gently run a knife along sides to release, then transfer to a cooling rack or serving tray. Garnish as desired and serve immediately.

Expert Tips

• Avoid overcooking. Bake until the quiches are just cooked through. The middle should be set and no longer jiggly, the edges should pull away from the pan and the tops should be golden. Overcooking will lead to a tough, dried out texture.
• Customize flavors with add-ins or toppings. These are super easy to adjust based on your taste preferences. Add in different meats, cheeses or veggies depending on what you like. They don’t all have to be the same either.
• Grease the muffin pan well with cooking spray to avoid any sticking.
• Grate the cheese by hand for the best melt. Pre-shredded cheeses won’t yield as gooey of a result.

Variations

• Add in veggies. Mix in diced bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, or broccoli florets for flavor and color.
• Try different cheeses. Substitute any other cheese for a different flavor profile. Mozzarella, gouda, feta, or goat would be delicious.
• Use egg whites only to lighten it up. Skip the yolks for a slightly lighter quiche.
• Swap the bacon for sausage. Just be sure to brown the sausage and break into small crumbles before adding to the muffin tin.
