Quiche Toast Cups

The origins of quiche date back to medieval Germany, where it was known as “kuchen” or cake, and later evolved in France to the savory dish we know and love today. Traditionally, quiche is made with a flaky pastry crust filled with a mixture of eggs, cream, cheese, and various fillings such as vegetables or meats. The Quiche Toast Cups represent a modern twist on this classic, swapping out the traditional pie crust for whole grain bread, which adds both flavor and nutritional benefits.

Ingredients

6 slices of whole grain bread

4 large eggs

1 cup milk

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, swiss, or your choice)

1 cup diced vegetables (spinach, bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms)

1/2 cup diced cooked ham or smoked salmon (optional)

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

Fresh herbs for garnish (chives or parsley)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice of bread to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut each slice into circles using a cookie cutter or a glass, slightly larger than the cups of a muffin tin.

Gently press each cut-out bread circle into the cups of a greased muffin tin, shaping them to form little cups. Bake the bread cups in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes until lightly toasted. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Stir in the cheese, diced vegetables, and ham or salmon (if using) into the egg mixture until evenly distributed.

Carefully pour the egg mixture into each toasted bread cup, filling them about three-quarters full.

Bake the quiche toast cups in the oven for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the egg mixture is set and slightly golden on top.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a couple of minutes. Use a butter knife to carefully loosen the edges of each toast cup before gently removing them from the tin.

Garnish with fresh herbs before serving. Enjoy warm!
