These healthy breakfast egg muffins are an ideal finger food for babies and toddlers. With vitamins K, A and manganese from the mild spinach, calcium from the gooey cheese, and protein from the prosciutto, these mini ham spinach quiches are packed with wholesome and healthy ingredients.
Frittatas have always been a family fave however, since my son’s recent decision to take a hiatus from eggs I haven’t been making them as often as I’d like. I was inspired to make these mini quiches so that my son could actually help me make them, which in theory, should entice him to actually eat them since he took part in the whole process.
If you’re not frittata savvy or are just tired of making the same ole’ omelet or scrambled eggs this recipe is a great way to switch it up and have some fun with your toddler in the kitchen while you’re at it! The individual portions make it easy for everyone in the family to personalize their own mini quiche using their favourite ingredients.
If you follow this Blog you’ll know I’m a big fan of frittatas, such as Chorizo Zucchini and Saffron Frittata, Mashed Potato and Asparagus Frittata, and Pastasciutta Frittata. These recipes could easily be adapted to make into mini quiches, which are much quicker and easier to make.
Ingredients
12 organic eggs
1 cup organic spinach
2 slices Prosciutto (ham, turkey or chicken cold cuts)
about 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
about 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
pinch of salt and pepper (per quiche)
pinch of nutmeg (per quiche-optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Wash spinach, rinse and chop finely. Finely chop prosciutto, grate mozzarella and set all the ingredients aside.
Spray each muffin tin generously with cooking spray then crack each individual egg directly into each tin.
Leave the eggs unscrambled then add the ingredients…
Or scramble each egg gently with a small whisk before adding the remaining ingredients.
This method is ideal if each family member is personalizing their quiches, otherwise an easier option would be to whisk all the ingredients in a bowl then add directly to the muffin tin.
Portion out the ingredients equally, add them to the pan then gently whisk together. Garnish each quiche with about 1 teaspoon of freshly grated Parmesan.
Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, depending on how you prefer your eggs cooked. (I prefer my eggs ‘well done’ so I cooked them for a minute or so longer until they were golden brown.)
Set aside to cool for about 5 minutes before serving as they will be piping hot inside!
Serve hot, warm or at room temperature. Store in the fridge in an air-tight container or zip-lock bag for up to 3 days.
These look like the perfect way to bulk make snacks and breakfast in advance. Such a simple recipe yet so effective – thanks!
Thanks Kathryn! They’re so quick and easy to make…sometimes I prepare them after the kids have gone to bed then pop them in the fridge. No stress at breakfast!
I’ve never had a quiche before, but I really want to try it. This is a great meal to make for my kids to have for breakfast.
My kids are more prone to eat them too because they make them with me!
These quiches look delicious. I need some variety in my morning meal plan and I think my little guy would enjoy them.
They’re great to prepare in the evening…then just grab from the fridge!
I was just looking for a good quiche recipe to try. Our daughter would love these. I’m book marking it now!
That’s great…thanks!
Those are so cute and delicious looking! I love how easy to make them seem to make 🙂
So much easier than preparing a traditional quiche or frittata!
Wow it looks delicious… I will try this recipe in my kitchen too!!
This looks so delicious, I want some now!
Ya know, I have never actually had quiche before. These look good. I will definitely have to try them.
These mini ham spinach quiches look so good and are so easy to make. I will be making these for breakfast for sure. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
I love the fact that they’re serving size! I love quiche, and this is the perfect way to indulge without going overboard, ha ha!
They’re great for toddlers…a healthy finger food!
During our recent college party my friend served up some delicious mini quiches and I was not able to get her recipe. Thanks for sharing your post because now I know how to make it!
You don’t really need a recipe actually..just add whatever ingredients you want to an egg, pop in the oven, and voila! 😉
Oh my goodness, how creative. I can’t wait until this weekend to let the grand kids help me make these. They’ll be excited.
Thank you…the grand kids will have so much fun making them!
These look delicious and easy! You could freeze them too for a quick breakfast. Love!
Of course you can!
Delicious! I love quiches! Can’t wait to try your recipe! Thanks!
I love quiches. And these mini ham and spinach ones sound delicious. I can’t wait to try this recipe!
My family would love these mini ham and spinach quiches. If it has spinach as an ingredient, I’m all in.
I love the mild flavour of spinach…kale (even though it has a stronger flavour) is delicious in these too!
I really love a good quiche – and these individual ones look so special too. Great for kids – but also for parties too I think.
Yes, of course! They would be a great dinner party appetizer!
These look absolutely delicious! And you are right-kids are more likely to try things that they help make.
Exactly! It’s worked for me many times!
Your recipes are easy to follow which I love. I’m terrible in the kitchen and need recipes to be as detailed as possible. 😀 This looks so yummy. (Pinned it).
Good to hear (you think they are easy to follow)! I hope my recipes will inspire you in the kitchen…this one IS super easy to make and fun to make with the kids too!
