Quiche Toast Cups Recipe

Quiche Toast Cups are a fun, bite-sized twist on traditional quiche, perfect for breakfast or brunch. These cups are made by pressing bread slices into muffin tins to form the “crust,” then filling them with a savory egg mixture. You can customize the filling with your favorite ingredients like cheese, vegetables, and meats.

Quiche Toast Cups Recipe

Ingredients:

• 6 slices of white or whole wheat bread (crusts removed)
• 4 large eggs
• 1/4 cup milk or cream
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or your favorite)
• 1/4 cup cooked ham or bacon (optional)
• 1/4 cup vegetables (such as spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh herbs (optional, such as parsley or chives)
• Butter or cooking spray (for greasing the muffin tin)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin with butter or cooking spray.

2. Prepare the Bread Cups:

• Flatten each slice of bread with a rolling pin. Gently press each slice into the muffin tin to form a cup shape. The edges may stick out slightly, which will crisp up nicely in the oven.

3. Prepare the Egg Mixture:

• In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.

4. Add Fillings:

• Divide the shredded cheese, cooked ham or bacon (if using), and vegetables evenly into each bread cup.

5. Pour Egg Mixture:

• Carefully pour the egg mixture over the fillings in each bread cup, filling them almost to the top.

6. Bake:

• Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the eggs are set and the bread is golden brown and crispy.

7. Garnish and Serve:

• Remove the quiche toast cups from the oven and let them cool slightly before removing them from the muffin tin. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve warm.

Customization Ideas:

• Vegetarian: Use sautéed spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, or bell peppers.
• Meaty: Add diced ham, cooked bacon, or crumbled sausage.
• Cheesy: Use different types of cheese like feta, mozzarella, or Gruyère.

These Quiche Toast Cups are perfect for serving at a gathering, or you can make them ahead for quick breakfasts on the go!
