These bite-sized delights are perfect for any family gathering, but they truly shine during seasonal occasions like Thanksgiving, where the cozy, warm flavors bring everyone together. Join me, Zynah Maryam, as we create this cherished dish that combines creativity, family bonding, and a shared passion for cooking.
Recipe Summary
Prep Time: 20 minutes

Servings: 12 mini quiches
Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 1 sheet of pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 6 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/2 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin.
- Roll out the pie crust on a floured surface and cut into 12 circles using a 3-inch round cutter. Gently press each circle into the muffin tin cups.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Divide the cooked bacon, cheese, and onions evenly among the pie crust-lined cups.
- Pour the egg mixture over the bacon, cheese, and onions, filling each cup almost to the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the quiches are puffed and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before removing from the tin. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving warm.
Helpful Tips
- Crust: If you prefer a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free pie crust.
- Cheese: Feel free to substitute Gruyère with Swiss or cheddar cheese.
- Make-Ahead: You can prepare the bacon and onion mixture ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Storage: Store leftover quiches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven before serving.
