Instructions
Creating delicious Bacon-Broccoli Quiche Cups is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Pie Crusts: Roll out the refrigerated pie crusts on a floured surface. Using a round cutter, cut out circles that fit into the cups of a muffin tin.
3. Grease the Muffin Tin: Lightly grease the muffin tin with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
4. Line the Muffin Tin: Press the pie crust circles into the muffin tin cups, ensuring they fit snugly.
5. Cook the Bacon: Cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy. Remove and crumble into small pieces. Leave some bacon grease in the pan for added flavor.
6. Sauté the Broccoli: In the same skillet, add the chopped broccoli and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until slightly tender. Remove from heat.
7. Mix the Egg Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
8. Add Fillings: Stir in the crumbled bacon, sautéed broccoli, and shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture until evenly coated.
9. Fill the Cups: Pour the egg mixture into each pie crust-lined muffin cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
10. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the egg is set and the tops are golden brown.
11. Cool: Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the quiche cups cool in the tin for about 10 minutes.
12. Remove from Tin: Carefully use a knife to loosen the edges, then gently lift the quiche cups out of the muffin tin.
13. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
