Mini Quiche Recipe
Mornings always feel like a marathon with two little humans. With so much to get done before heading out the door, breakfasts need to be EASY but also filling and nutritious. That’s why I meal prep breakfast on the weekends to enjoy throughout the week. This crustless quiche is one of our favorites. It takes very minimal effort to make – just stir, pour, and bake. My whole family loves it! It is also highly customizable. You can add whatever vegetables and protein you have on hand, which helps reduce food waste. Same for these fluffy spinach egg muffins. I like to add salmon because it’s one of the few guaranteed ways my kindergartener will eat canned salmon. This and these mini baked salmon patties that is :).
Ingredients
I am highlighting just the ones that need further explanation. The complete list is in the recipe card below.
Canned salmon – Wild caught Alaskan salmon has been shown to be the best option. Choose “no salt added” or “low sodium.” Also, look for BPA-free lining. You may find small bones, which you don’t need to go through the trouble of removing. They are edible and will provide a boost of calcium. Vegetables. Feel free to use whatever you have on hand. I like to use frozen peas and frozen broccoli (thaw before using). Greek yogurt – will help make the quiche moist and boost nutrition and flavor. It’s seriously the perfect addition! You can also use cottage cheese. Eggs. Here are some more baby-friendly egg recipes! You’ll also find answers to your burning questions like when can you introduce eggs? How many per day? etc.
Step by Step Instructions
Variations
Vegetables
This mini crustless quiche recipe is the perfect way to incorporate more veggies into your baby’s and child’s diets! You can add either cooked or uncooked vegetables. If using the latter, be sure to finely chop before adding to the batter. You an add:
Bell peppers Broccoli Cabbage Carrots Cauliflower Onion (red onions, green onions) Peas Spinach Sweet potatoes Tomatoes Zucchini
Protein
Not a fan of salmon or don’t have any on hand? You don’t have to add any additional protein besides the eggs, but here are a few options if you have some on hand.
Beans Beef – such a great way to use up any leftover cooked ground beef. Chicken Shrimp
Cheese
While this is optional, it will add great flavor! You can use cheddar cheese, mozzarella, parmesan, swiss cheese…whatever you like!
Serving Suggestions
These mini quiches are a great finger food and also a complete meal for babies. They include an iron-rich food (salmon and eggs), high calorie food (Greek yogurt and cheese if using), and vegetables (broccoli and peas). You can serve whole, halved, or cut into bite-sized pieces for babies who have developed their pincer grasp, usually around 8-9 months of age.
Storage Suggestions
In the fridge. Store in an airtight container for 3-5 days. In the freezer. Flash freeze and store in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.
How to Reheat
Microwave frozen muffins for 1-2 minutes or refrigerated muffins for 20-25 seconds. You can also reheat in a toaster oven until warmed through. You can enjoy cold too! Makes for a great no heating required bento lunch box addition.
