I LOVE the combo of Broccoli and Cheddar in any form I can get it in, and these Mini Crustless Broccoli Cheddar Quiche are my new favorite thing! For some reason, I have been obsessed with “mini” anything as well and making foods that can be eaten in single serving size little packages. I think it’s because food is just so cute when it is presented in a mini or single size version.

Well, these are just that. Mini size little quiches, filled with eggs, steamed broccoli and cheddar cheese. Low-calorie, high in protein and so good! I have to thank my mom for this recipe idea since she recently requested a broccoli cheddar quiche recipe.

We are also loving these Veggie Egg White Bites for busy weekday mornings.

What to expect from these crustless mini quiches

  • Bite-size
  • Meal prep friendly
  • Delicious and cheesy
  • Healthy and packed with protein
  • Simple and easy to make

How to make Mini Broccoli Cheddar Quiche

  1. Start with steaming the broccoli – the only way my kids will eat it! Add broccoli florets to a medium-size pot, cover with water, then bring to a boil on the stovetop, cover and simmer for a few minutes until the broccoli is slightly tender. Drain and chop. Expert Tip: You can also use a steamer basket. Just fill the pot with water up to about 1-2 inches, place the steamer basket on top of the water, add in the broccoli, cover and simmer for 3-4 minutes, then drain.

2. Then spray the muffin cups with cooking spray and fill the muffin cups with the chopped broccoli and shredded cheddar cheese.

3. Whisk up the eggs with a splash of milk and pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup about 3/4 of the way full. This recipe will make 12-15 mini quiche, depending on the size of muffin pan you use. I used a standard 12-cup muffin pan and it made exactly 12.

4. Bake at 375 degrees F for 17-20 minutes. They get so light and fluffy and can be stored for up to 4 days!

Pretty amazing and these are so nutritious! They make a perfect healthy meal or quick snack any day of the week. A great meal prep recipe as well!

Recipe tips and variations

  • You can use egg whites or half egg whites to cut the fat down.
  • Sub in any veggies you have just make sure not to overfill the muffin tins. You want to use cooked veggies and not raw.
  • If you prefer to use mozzarella cheese, goat cheese or feta cheese then go for it and skip the cheddar! You could also omit the cheese altogether if you cannot tolerate the extra dairy or are trying to cut the fat down even more and they would still be delicious.
  • Make this egg-free or even vegan-friendly: If you don’t eat eggs then you could sub in chickpea flour mixed with water in place of the eggs. Just mix one cup of chickpea flour with one cup of water and a little olive oil, salt, and pepper and you can enjoy these as egg-free mini quiche cups. Add a little turmeric to get that egg-like golden color.

I hope you try this recipe. If you do, then please leave a comment and rating below.

Description

Delicious Mini Crustless Broccoli and Cheddar Quiche! Cheesy eggs filled with steamed broccoli and baked until fluffy and delicious. Low-calorie, vegetarian, 4-ingredients and so easy to make! One of the best meal-prep recipes!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk (you can use plant-based milk)
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 cup steamed broccoli (chopped)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375F degrees and spray a muffin pan with cooking spray.
  2. Crack the eggs into a medium-size mixing bowl and whisk well. Whisk in the milk
  3. Sprinkle the eggs with salt and pepper.
  4. Chop up the steamed broccoli, and divide the broccoli and cheddar cheese evenly between the muffin cups, but do not overfill. Fill about 1/3 of the way full.
  5. Pour the egg mixture about 3/4 of the way full in each. There should be just enough for 15-16 quiche cups.
  6. Bake in the middle rack of the oven for 17-20 minutes.
  7. Remove and let cool for a few minutes. Run a butter knife along the edge of each quiche cup to loosen it from the pan. Lift each quiche cup out of the pan, plate, serve warm and ENJOY!

Notes

  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.  Reheat in the microwave or a 350-degree oven. 
  • You can swap the broccoli out for any vegetables you have, just make sure the veggies are cooked and cooled first before adding them to the eggs.
  • You can use egg whites or half egg whites to cut the fat down. If using egg whites then you will need about 2 cups.  
  • If you prefer to use mozzarella cheese, goat cheese or feta cheese then go for it and skip the cheddar! You could also omit the cheese altogether if you cannot tolerate the extra dairy or are trying to cut the fat down even more and they would still be delicious.
  • Make this egg-free or even vegan-friendly: If you don’t eat eggs then you could sub in chickpea flour mixed with water in place of the eggs. Just mix one cup of chickpea flour with one cup of water and a little olive oil, salt, and pepper and you can enjoy these as egg-free mini quiche cups.

      Hi Vicky, I don’t know exactly how much but I do know that foods like milk, eggs and broccoli have a decent amount of potassium. I am guessing around 250-300mg based on myFitness Pal.

    im a little confused about how many mini quiches this recipe is supposed to make. At the top of the recipe it says yield for 6 people, then in the recipe it says should be enough for 15-16 quiche cups, but then in the nutrition part it says a serving is 2quiche cups and serves 4. So how many does this actually make?

      Hi Shelly, Thank you so much for your comment. Depending on the size muffin pan you use, it should make 12-15. I used a standard 12 cup muffin pan and it made exactly 12. A serving size is about 2, so it should yield about 6 servings. I have updated the recipe card to make it clearer.

    Hey sorry not to be annoying, but your calorie/nutrition count is actually just for 1 mini quiche.

    Tried the recipe and loved it! Used half egg egg whites to lower the calories a little and mixed in some sriracha to give it a kick! Came out really great 🙂

      Thank you Shelly, I will update the nutritional information. I believe it is around 160 calories for 2, depending on the type of cheese you use. Also, keep in mind that nutritional information is only an estimate but I do like to make sure it is as close as possible so thank you. I am glad you liked them.
