Serve your way: Enjoy plain or with marinara sauce for dipping.
Key Ingredients:
- eggs. The base of the quiche, use large eggs for the right consistency. Whisk well for a light, fluffy texture.
- shredded mozzarella. Classic pizza flavor and melt. Shred fresh if possible for better texture.

Easy Substitutions & Variations:
- Make it dairy-free: Use dairy-free shredded cheese and replace the heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk.
- Use a different meat: Cooked sausage, diced ham, or turkey pepperoni work well instead of pepperoni.
- Add vegetables: Finely chopped bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach can be stirred into the egg mixture.
- Make it vegetarian: Skip the pepperoni and add extra cheese or vegetables instead.
- Change the cheese: Cheddar, provolone, or an Italian cheese blend can be used in place of mozzarella.
How to Make Mini Pizza Quiches:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray or oil.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, dried oregano, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
- Stir in the shredded mozzarella and quartered pepperoni until evenly distributed.
- Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the quiches are puffed, set in the center, and lightly golden on top.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then carefully loosen and remove each quiche.
- Serve warm with marinara sauce on top or on the side for dipping, if desired.
Recipe Notes & Tips:
- Grease the pan well: Mini quiches release more easily when the muffin tin is generously greased or lined with silicone cups.
- Don't overfill: Filling each cup about ¾ full allows the quiches to puff without spilling over.
- Let them rest before removing: A short cooling time helps the quiches firm up and hold their shape.
- Reheat gently: Warm in the microwave for short intervals or in a low oven to avoid drying them out.
- Serving suggestions: Serve alongside Greek Yogurt Bagels or aSmoked Sausage Hash for quick breakfasts, lunches, or snacks.
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.
