Ingredients to Make Mini Pizza Quiches:
- eggs. The base of the quiche, use large eggs for the right consistency. Whisk well for a light, fluffy texture.
- heavy cream. Adds richness and helps create a custard-like filling. Half-and-half or whole milk can be used for a lighter version.
- shredded mozzarella. Classic pizza flavor and melt. Shred fresh if possible for better texture.
- marinara sauce. Spoon on after baking or serve on the side for dipping. Use your favorite jarred or homemade version.
- pepperoni. Quartered so every bite gets a bit. Turkey pepperoni works too, or swap in cooked sausage or chopped veggies.
- dried oregano. Adds familiar pizza seasoning. Italian seasoning or dried basil also work.
How to Make Mini Pizza Quiches:
- Set oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and oregano until smooth.
- Stir in the shredded mozzarella and quartered pepperoni.
- Evenly divide the mixture among the 12 cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the quiches are puffed and set in the center.
- Let cool for 5 minutes, then remove from the muffin pan. Serve warm with pizza sauce on top or on the side for dipping.
Recipe Notes & Tips:
- Grease well: Use cooking spray or brush each muffin cup with oil to prevent sticking.
- Let them rest: The quiches will puff up while baking, then settle as they cool, this is normal.
- Customize the fillings: Add chopped bell peppers, mushrooms, olives, or spinach for extra flavor. Just be sure veggies are pre-cooked and drained to avoid excess moisture.
- Use a cookie scoop: Makes it easier to portion the egg mixture evenly across the muffin tin.
- Serve with sauce: Warm pizza sauce adds that classic pizza feel, spoon a little on top or serve on the side for dipping.
- Avoid over baking: Pull them out as soon as the centers are set to keep the texture tender, not rubbery.
- Mini muffin version: Use mini muffin tins and reduce the bake time to 10-12 minutes for bite-sized quiches.
- Low-carb option: These are naturally low in carbs, perfect for keto or gluten-free diets without any crust needed.
Serving Suggestions:
- Broccoli Bacon Salad
- Garlic Roasted Potatoes
- Loaded Sweet Potato Fries

How to Store:
Refrigerator: Store cooled quiches in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or in a 350°F oven until warmed through.
Freezer: Freeze fully cooled quiches in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. Reheat from frozen in the oven at 350°F for 10-12 minutes.
Make-ahead tip: These are great for meal prep, bake a batch on Sunday and enjoy all week with sauce on the side.
FAQs:
Yes, use a dairy-free milk like unsweetened almond or oat, and swap in a plant-based cheese. The texture will be slightly different but still tasty.
It's better to grease the pan directly. Liners tend to stick to egg-based bakes, but silicone liners work well if you have them.
Absolutely. This recipe doubles easily for parties or meal prep-just use two muffin pans or bake in batches.
