Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Generously spray 36 mini muffin cups with cooking spray to prevent sticking. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Crumble in the sausage and cook, stirring frequently, until it is evenly browned and cooked through. (Cook time: 10 minutes)

03

Step

Drain the sausage in a colander or on a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess grease. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

04

Step

Evenly distribute the cooked sausage, Cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese, and chopped green onion among the prepared mini muffin cups. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

05

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, instant potato flakes, and heavy whipping cream until well combined. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. (Prep time: 3 minutes)

06

Step

Carefully pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and cheese filling in each muffin cup, filling them almost to the top. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

07

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the quiches are set in the middle and lightly golden brown. (Bake time: 22 minutes)

08

Step

Remove from the oven and let cool in the muffin tins for 5 minutes before serving. This allows them to set slightly and makes them easier to remove. (Cool time: 5 minutes)

For a vegetarian option, substitute the sausage with sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or roasted vegetables.
Feel free to experiment with different cheeses and herbs to customize the flavor profile.
These mini quiches can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
They also freeze exceptionally well. Allow them to cool completely before transferring them to a freezer-safe container or bag. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
