Sweep The Fridge Crustless Mini Quiche Featuring Spam
Prep Time: 15 min | Cook Time: 18 mins | Servings: 12
Description:
A delicious way to use up odds and ends in the fridge and have a tasty grab and go snack. Fresh and hot, room temperature, or cold out of the fridge, they will disappear in a flash!
Ingredients:
7 eggs
½ cup milk, cream, or half & half
3/4 cup small chopped veg, pre-cooked as needed
3/4 cup Spam, chopped small (about 1/3 of a 12 oz. can)
3/4 cup shredded cheese or cheese blend, plus extra for garnish
salt & pepper to taste
Pinch of nutmeg, optional freshly ground preferred
Directions:
Preheat oven to 385°F
Grease a 12 cup metal muffin tin or 8X8 baking dish. See notes for adapting recipe for a pie or tart dish.
Brown Spam on med/high heat, stirring only occasionally to allow for a nice, golden crust on the surface.
In a medium bowl whisk the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.
Layer protein, veg, and cheese into muffin cups or baking dish, about a tablespoon each for individual muffins. Top off with egg mixture, filling each cup about 3/4 full, likely a bit fuller, and that’s ok. Sprinkle the top with a little extra cheese if desired.
Transfer to the oven and bake 17-19 minutes or until a knife tip inserted comes out clean, 20-22 minutes for 8X8 baking dish. Center should be set and top beginning to brown.
Rest for 5 minutes and remove from muffin tins. Serve.
If not eating all of the quiches right away, let cool and store the remainder in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes:
Equipment Needed:
Cutting board and knife for chopping ingredients
Cheese grater
Medium mixing bowl
12 cup muffin tin or 8X8 baking dish
Skillet for cooking ingredients as needed
Whisk/fork
Measuring cups
Tablespoon/soup spoon
Small ladle or turkey baster
Small silicon scraper for removing mini quiches from muffin tin
Recommended dice for protein and veg is 1/4” or smaller, making quiches that hold together nicely and distribute flavors evenly. High moisture veg like tomatoes, zucchini, spinach, mushrooms, onions, etc. should be pre-cooked to reduce moisture content and better develop flavors. Proteins must also be pre-cooked before assembly to ensure food safety.
For baking in a pie or tart dish, decrease volume of protein, veg, and cheese from 3/4 cup each to 1/2 cup each. Baking time may need adjusting to 20-25 minutes.
