  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add potatoes, onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until the potatoes are just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool 5 minutes.

  • Whisk eggs, cheese, milk, pepper and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Stir in spinach and the potato mixture. Divide the quiche mixture among the prepared muffin cups.

  • Bake until firm to the touch, about 25 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before removing from the tin.

Tips

To make ahead: Individually wrap in plastic and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month. To reheat, remove plastic, wrap in a paper towel and microwave on High for 30 to 60 seconds.

Equipment: Muffin tin with 12 (1/2-cup) cups

This recipe would be great to make if you want to torture whoever has dish duty. Sure the mini quiches were good but they weren't great. But it made a colossal mess! I prepared it as directed and everything stuck-- it took me several soaks and over an hour to clean the muffin pan. I may never make it again but if I do I won't make this as directed. Next time I will make it in a pie pan and cut it. Also you can't taste the smoked cheddar so no need to splurge on that just use regular cheddar. Read More

Delicious. I used a 9x12 pan since I didn't want to deal with the clean up issue. Used onions mushrooms red pepper sweet potato bacon spicy cheddar. Threw a little extra shredded cheese on top. Even the kids ate it! Read More

Love this recipe. I made it according to the recipe and it was awesome! Now I use the measurements to use whatever I have on hand. Broccoli sausage raw onions bacon and lots of different cheeses. It always fills 12 muffin tins and comes out great. I use a non-stick muffin pan and I lightly spray as well. Works like a charm! They are great to have on hand and they freeze so well. I make a simple aioli with mayo ketchup and sriracha to give it a nice kick. One of my favorite things to eat! Read More
