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!

I love that your picture features blue eggs! We heart our blue egg layers and ‘home -grown’ eggs are just the best!!! 🙂
I need to make some quiche this week! Great reminder!

These mini quiches are great! We have your book “The best homemade kids lunches on the planet” and I just love it! I love going through your book each week and picking out the recipes/lunchbox ideas for each week. I have two kids- my daughter is 16 and my son is 4, so we have a big age variation and my son is a very picky eater!
One way we prepare for the week is to have lots of our fave fruits and veggies washed and cut up and in small containers in the fridge to quickly pack in our lunches. Also, having a few hard boiled eggs on hand each Sunday for the week is our go to for protein, either chopped in a salad, or quick egg salad or just to eat on it’s own! My daughter helps with the washing and cutting of the veggies and my son helps peel the eggs.
I love your blog, Laura, and I enjoy receiving the weekly e-mails! Keep them coming, you are a lifesaver!

thank you so much for your support Tami! I am so glad my ideas are helpful!

My daughter LOVES to help pre-pack her lunches for the week on Sunday evening. We bag up chips, pretzels, cookies, etc. so that all I have to do the night before or the morning of is grab the bags and add a water bottle to their lunch bags. I am SOOOOO glad my kids are old enough to really help me out now! 🙂

These look delish! My kid is involved in cooking pretty much from start to finish. Be it, grocery shopping, cleaning and putting away the food, helping with meal prep, cleaning up after and loading the dishwasher (and anything in between that I missed). Fun bonding and learning time together! Would love to win a Yumbox. Thanks for the chance 🙂

I love this idea! It is definitely going to be prepped this weekend! I usually meal prep my own lunches; how wonderful it will be to meal prep my four year old daughters! She usually helps by using a measuring cup and pouring the cooked food into the containers. My best tips to prep-ahead meals would be 1, plan out the grocery list for the week for each meal for everyone, and 2, go grocery shopping a day or two before you plan to prep. Grocery shopping is exhausting– who wants to cook afterwords!?
