Crustless Mini Quiches

I’ve really been trying to mix up the breakfast routine in our home. Sometimes it’s easy to get caught in a pattern of eating the same things over and over, so in an effort to cook a light and nutritious breakfast to start the day, I decided to make this super crustless mini quiches recipe featuring delicious sausage and veggies!
If you make this crustless mini quiches ahead of time, you can refrigerate or freeze them for a quick breakfast for days to come. I also love that the mess is almost zero thanks to PAM cooking spray. These mini quiches slide right out of the muffin tin when I use PAM cooking spray and I have virtually no residue to deal with afterward.
Leaving up to *99% less residue, PAM is your ally in the kitchen and allows you to save time during prep and clean up.
*vs. leading cooking sprays (except olive oil), after spraying on glass bakeware, baking at 400°F for 30 min, cooling, and then washing in standard home dishwasher with detergent and repeating 4 times
Of course, these mini quiches aren’t just for breakfast. They also make the perfect little appetizer, brunch or even dinner if you’re on a lower-carb diet.
If you wanted to make this crustless mini quiches recipe even more healthful, you could use egg substitutes or use a higher quantity of egg whites in your recipe.
You could also skip the meat completely and add more veggies, or use a fat free cheese.
The options are really limitless!
I like making mini quiches with ingredients my kids like (crumbled bacon and cheese) and letting them eat them as finger food in the mornings before school. Quick, easy and delicious.
Thanks to PAM, these scrumptious mini quiches slide right out of the muffin tin with zero effort.
Does the cleanup time that I save thanks to PAM really a big deal? Absolutely. There are days during the week when I barely have time to make a meal, much less spend precious hours in the evening struggling over dishes, and with PAM, my cleanup is a breeze.
In case you’re wondering, yes, these mini quiches are as delicious as they look…
I hope you love this recipe for mini quiches as much as my family does, and remember, you can use any combination of ingredients you prefer! This mix of sausage, mushrooms, spinach and cheese is divine, though, I will tell you that!

I loved this recipe but the bottom of my quiches were wet and the cupcakes pan didn’t come out clean.😔 Do you know what I did wrong?
They look delicious!
If I make ahead what is the best way to reheat?
This dish is wonderful. Prep makes it easier but overall simple recipe. So nice to have preface breakfast. I used 12 eggs and a cup of milk lots of vegies. It made 18 quiche. Just love them. Thank you.
Can you use all egg whites instead of using whole eggs as well?
I made these cups today and they were yummy. I substituted parmesan cheese for cheddar and it worked great. Thanks for sharing this recipe. It made 12 mini quiches.

perfect recipe! I must try this out! Tired of eating toast and pancakes for breakfast and this sounds more wholesome :)
These are awesome! Nearly every morning, I make an omelet in a cup that I cook in the microwave. This morning I began wondering how I could make a larger batch to have on hand to save time. I found your recipe and it is delicious! I gave it a twist and added bell pepper, onion and tomatoes.
Thank you for sharing this recipe!
