Crustless Mini Quiches with Pepperoni
My favorite family recipes are those that come together quickly, have relatively few ingredients, can be made ahead of time, and are simple enough for young kitchen helpers to assist in the making. Like these crustless pizza mini quiches!
Kids can help whisk the eggs, shred cheese, and even fill the mini muffin cups with the mixture. We make these quiches nearly every week. And each week one of my kids gets to pick what goes in them.
My daughter loves coming up with crazy combinations like broccoli and ham, tomatoes and bacon, and the biggest fail to date: apples and cinnamon (not a good combination with eggs). Some of the better ones were zesty mini quiches, spinach and bacon, and ham and cheese.
Ingredients
Just like traditional pizza, you can make these mini quiches with your favorite toppings. Eggs and milk are the base (instead of pizza crust) and the variety of toppings you can add in is unlimited! Here’s what I included this time:
- Eggs: essential to bind the ingredients.
- Milk: any dairy or non-dairy milk.
- Pizza toppings: I usually add pepperoni and olives, you can add your favorites. If adding meat, make sure is cooked. More ideas below.
- Shredded cheese: mozzarella, cheddar, Swiss, or any other cheese you like!

This is a great idea! I’m always looking for new ideas and quiches are something most of the family would like. I have to pack lunches the evening before. I let my oldest help pack food – he is more interested in trying new foods and when he is involved in the packing!

Do your kids eat these cold/room temp in their lunches? Thanks.

I need to get my kids more involved I in the kitchen! My daughter likes to crack and whisk eggs, wash and peel veggies, and once she washed all the dishes, but only that one time, lol.
My son will crack one egg or do one step, and then he wants to be done. He’s my picky eater, but decided he likes eggs a few months ago after years of not wanting to eat them…I will definitely be trying out your quiche recipe.
Thank you for your emails, videos, instagrams, books, etc! I can’t wait until your new book is available!

My 7 yo daughter and I make mini omelettes, breakfast burritos, and/or overnight oatmeal in a jar. My son helps with measuring and cleaning vegetables for me to cut. Having cheddar cheese, carrots, celery and peppers pre cut is a great convenience for us.
Your mini quiches are like our mini omelettes so will be fun to add this to our variety. Thanks.

I plan my week of breakfast and dinners over the weekend and try to do as much prep on Sunday. I freeze a lot of meals or just ingredients that i’ll need later in the week to cut down on prep time.

My daughter is young so she is in a very helpful stage. She loves getting out her plastic knife and helps me chop up whatever she can!
