We love these Mini Phyllo Quiche Cups! These tasty breakfast bites are ready to scarf in just 15 minutes! We make them at least once a week and my daughter begs for them.
Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and group the cups very close together so they don't fan out into fillo discs as they cook. I use a small baking sheet when I'm only making a few and a large one when we're making these for a family brunch!
Use cooked veggies if you prefer them soft, or grab your favorite raw veggies if you like the crunch. I usually have a boatload of leftovers in my fridge so I love using them up in these little breakfast bites! I consider it foodie upcycling, hah!
Whisk together your egg and half and half [see below for subsitutions] very well and set aside. I use a little hand-cranked mixer on mine but you can do this by hand as well. Whisking til frothy will help this pour the easiest for ya!
Line the bottom of each fillo cup with your mix-ins then use a spouted measuring cup to pour the egg into each cup. For sure grab a spouted measuring cup to do your pouring, it'll help control how much egg goes into each phyllo cup!
Top with cheese and your favorite toppings.
Bake on the center rack for 10-11 minutes.
Notes
While the measurements above are perfect for one 15-cup package of phyllo cups [which you can find in your grocer's freezer section next to the pie crusts and puff pastry!] you can easily double, triple, or quadruple the above measurements to make extra!I can finish a 15 bite spread of these babies without batting an eye and usually double the recipe to feed my family.Since each quiche is itty bitty, stick to around 2 mix ins per phyllo cup. Craving variety? Make a few of each of your favorite combinations!My favorites so far have been chicken-apple sausage and cheddar, jalapeno with feta and cilantro, and arugula or spinach mixed with green onion, red pepper flakes and topped with habanero cheddar. The latter was the prettiest and the one I used for photos. I play favorites with my food and that combo rocked my socks!Nutrition Facts below are estimated for the base recipe using an online recipe nutrition calculator. Adjust as needed based on choice of mix-ins and toppings and enjoy!
