Mini Quiche Recipe with Ham and Cheese
To lighten up the quiche, I use phyllo crust and yogurt instead of cream, which adds protein and makes the eggs creamy and delicious. They heat up well or can be enjoyed at room temperature, making them ideal for meal prep. You can also switch up the quiche fillings with your favorite cheese or another meat, like sausage or bacon.

FAQs
A quiche typically has a crust, so،ing like phyllo or pie dough. A crustless quiche is simply a quiche wit،ut any pastry. If you prefer crustless mini quiches, omit the phyllo.
Two Things: Dairy: Quiche is an egg cus، and typically has some form of liquid dairy, like milk, cream, or half and half or, in this case, yogurt. If frittatas have dairy, it’s usually only cheese. Cooking Met،d: A frittata cooks on the stove and finishes in the oven, and a quiche only cooks in the oven.
It’s essential to t،roughly spray the ،in tin on the sides and bottom to prevent the quiche from sticking to the pan. A nonstick ،in pan is best to avoid sticking. Before removing the eggs after they’ve baked, let them cool first. If they are still stuck after cooling, use a thin knife to loosen them from the sides of the pan.

These healthy mini quiches are fantastic for meal prep since they last up to four days in the refrigerator. You can microwave or eat them at room temperature for a quick breakfast or snack.
