How to Make Crustless Ham and Cheese Quiche Cups
If you’ve never made quiche cups before, you’re in for a treat! They’re very simple to prepare:
- In a medium size mixing bowl, combine the eggs, cream, baking powder, salt and pepper.
- Stir in the chopped ham and shredded cheese.
- Spoon the mixture using a 1/4 cup measuring cup into a greased muffin tin.
- Bake until the muffins have set and a toothpick comes out clean.
How to Store Crustless Quiche Cups
These convenient no-crust ham and cheese quiche cups reheat very well. They are great for meal prepping to make grab-and-go breakfasts easier.
Simply store in the refrigerator in an air-tight container up to 4-5 days. You can also freeze these and pull them out individually over the course of 4-6 months. To protect them from freezer burn, I wrap each quiche muffin multiple times in plastic wrap, then toss into a freezer bag (squeezing all the air out). I reheat in the microwave in 20-second increments until warm.
Tips for Making Crustless Quiche Muffins
- I highly recommend using a silicone muffin pan because it will prevent the mixture from sticking and the quiche muffins will release very easily.
- You can use any kind of shredded cheese you’d like in this recipe.
- Try different meats if you prefer! Leftover shredded chicken, holiday turkey or ham, or even pulled pork would create interesting, flavorful variations!
- Crustless quiche cups freeze well, so consider making an extra batch!
