Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 3 tablespoons milk
- ¼ cup pepperoni slices, chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheese, mozzarella or cheddar
- 2 apples, sliced
- 2 cups baby carrots
Instructions
Prep:
- Preheat the oven to 350F and grease a 24-count mini muffin pan.
Make the mini quiches:
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and milk. Add the pizza toppings, like pepperoni (and up to ½ cup of additional add-ins), and the shredded cheese to the bowl. Mix to combine all ingredients.
- Fill each mini muffin pan with the egg mixture and an even amount of toppings.
Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven 15 to 18 minutes, until the tops are puffy and the egg mixture has cooked through. Remove from oven and allow the quiches to cool for about 5 minutes before removing them from the pan with a small knife or spatula.
Pack for school:
- Place 4 to 6 mini quiches inside a lunch container. Add sides like fruit and veggies in separate compartments. You can also enjoy these warm inside a thermos container.
Storage:
- Refrigerate extras in an airtight container for up to 3 days for future lunches or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
