How To Make Quiche Muffins
Full ingredients and instructions are also in the recipe card at the bottom of this blog post.
STEP 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly spray a muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray and set it aside.
STEP 2: Chop 2 cups chopped baby spinach into small pieces. Slice 1 ½ cups mushrooms.
STEP 3: Heat cooking oil over medium-high heat in a frying pan. Sautee the sliced mushrooms and spinach until spinach wilts, the mushrooms turn brown and shrink in size. This will take about 2-3 minutes. Remove everything from the pan, and add to a plate. Set aside.
STEP 4: Beat four eggs in a large bowl. Add ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese, 2 Tbsp milk, ½ tsp garlic powder, ¼ tsp salt and ¼ tsp ground black pepper.
STEP 5: Now add in the cooked mushrooms and spinach. Stir all ingredients together.
STEP 6: Divide the mixture into the muffin pan. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until eggs are cooked. Let cool then use a spatula to scoop onto a rack to cool completely.
Recipe Tips
- Baby spinach works best and it should be chopped smaller so it's easier to bite into. I recommend using fresh spinach, not frozen to avoid excess water and moisture.
- White button or crimini brown mushrooms will work for these quiche muffins. Save time using pre-sliced mushrooms.
- Customize by adding some fresh basil, sliced cherry tomatoes, or bell peppers into the recipe.
- Flavor the recipe with herbs like dried thyme and onion powder. Or make it spicy with red pepper flakes or chili powder.
- Serve with salsa, hot sauce, or ketchup, on toast or in between an English muffin like my freezer breakfast sandwiches.
How To Store Leftovers
- Refrigerate - Store these egg cups in an airtight container, or tightly wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
- To freeze - Wrap each muffin in plastic wrap, then place them in a large freezer bag or container. Remove as much air as possible. These can be frozen for up to 3 months for maximum freshness. Let them thaw in the fridge overnight, or on the counter for about 1 hour.
- To reheat - Egg muffins can be reheated for 30-60 seconds in the microwave and ready to eat.

Can this be baked in a Pyrex dish? I only have a muffin tin with 6 cups.

Yes it should be fine. I'm not sure how long it will take. It would be similar to my mushroom frittata recipe: https://andianne.com/crustless-quiche-mushrooms/
