This recipe for Mini Swiss Cheese Quiches is my go-to recipe to serve for brunch and these bite-sized quiches have been on the table for many a party. Or a mid-afternoon snack.  Or on-the-go breakfast.

Bite-Sized Swiss Cheese Quiche

baked mini Swiss Cheese Quiches

I am a big fan of these mini quiches. They are so easy to make and the recipe makes a nice big batch. But the best part about these quiches is the flaky, buttery crust and the savory egg custard full of swiss cheese that bakes up golden brown. You can easily eat several of these at one time. I should know.

Here is the ingredient list for making these quiches –

  1. Four
  2. Salt
  3. Butter
  4. Vegetable Shortening
  5. Swiss Cheese
  6. Eggs
  7. Milk
  8. Red Pepper
  9. Chives

Here are the steps you need to make these super simple, extra tasty quiches.

First shred the swiss cheese, chop red pepper and some chives, then make the egg custard. All so easy to do.  There is nothing better than a super simple recipe like this one.

For this recipe, you need a double pie crust.  You can make your own or use a store-bought crust. Both will be delicious. First, roll out the pie crust and cut into 2 1/2″ circles with a  round pastry cutter. Put each round into a mini muffin pan.

Author Jere ~ One Hot Oven

Ingredients

Double Crust Pie Dough

  • 2 1/2 cups AP, flour can use a 15 oz. store bought pie crust
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ cup butter, cold and cubed
  • ½ cups vegetable shortening, cold
  • 6-7 tbls ice water

Egg Custard

  • 1 1/2 cups Swiss cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup red pepper, small dice
  • 1 1/2 tbsp chives, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

Making the pie dough

  • In a large bowl mix the flour and salt.
  • Add the cold cubed butter and shortening to the flour mixture.  With a pastry cutter or two knives, cut the butter into the flour until the butter is pea size.
  • Start adding the water one tablespoon at a time and mix with a fork until the dough forms a ball.
  • Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Cut into two disks and roll each pie crust into a large circle, then using a 2 1/2" cutter, cut 24 circles to fit into the mini muffin pans.
  • Press each circle into the well of the muffin pan. I use a dough tamper that makes this easy.

Making the quiches

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. You need mini muffin pans, enough for 24 quiches.
  • Add a tablespoon of the Swiss cheese to each cup. Top with the red pepper and chives.
  • In a small bowl beat the two eggs then add the milk and salt. Pour this mixture into each cup filling nearly to the top.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes, until the quiches are golden brown.
  • Cool slightly then remove from the muffin tin. Serve warm

Notes

  • How to bake and freeze the Mini Swiss Cheese Quiche for later
  1. Bake the quiches as shown in the recipe and then cool completely
  2. Remove the quiches from the pan to a plate or tray and place in the freezer for an hour
  3. Once the quiches are frozen place in a freezer bag or wrap in foil
  4. When ready to serve, take the quiches straight from the freezer, place on a cookie sheet and reheat for 10 minutes at 375 degrees
  • How to make the recipe ahead to bake for later
  1. Put the pie crust in the muffin pan, add the cheese, red pepper and chives.
  2. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator
  3. Mix the egg, milk, and salt in a measuring cup and cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator.
  4. When ready to serve, preheat the oven. Pour the milk over into the cups and bake for 25 minutes.

You can prep the quiches ahead of time, up to six hours,  and pop them in the oven when you are ready.

  1. Put the pie crust in the muffin pan, add the cheese, red pepper and chives.
  2. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator
  3. Mix the egg, milk, and salt in a measuring cup and cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator.
  4. When ready to serve, preheat the oven. Pour the milk over into the cups and bake for 25 minutes.

They also freeze well so you can keep mini quiches on hand at all times.  Just follow these steps.

  1. Bake the quiches as shown in the recipe and then cool completely
  2. Remove the quiches from the pan to a plate or tray and place in the freezer for an hour
  3. Once the quiches are frozen place in a freezer bag or wrap in foil
  4. When ready to serve, take the quiches straight from the freezer, place on a cookie sheet and reheat for 10 minutes at 375 degrees

 

 

Here are some useful tools and kitchen equipment you might need.

For making these quiches and mini tarts, this dough tamper is the perfect tool to use. A nesting set of round cookie cutters always comes in handy.  This cheese grater works perfectly for all types of semi-hard to hard cheeses. Mini muffin pans come in handy for muffin, cupcakes and our mini quiches.


Happy baking!

    Okay, I got the freezer to oven thing down. Have you tried making these tiny ones without a crust? I’d like them this size but this recipe directs me to the next size up. What would be the difference?

      I haven’t made these crustless but can make crustless quiches, just make sure to grease the pans really good so the custard doesn’t stick. This recipe is just for mini-muffins but they could also be made in a regular-size muffin pan, just make larger pie dough rounds and adjust the baking time.
