Mini Quiches
My kids love a mini quiche. As long as I don’t try and squeeze too many fancy ingredients in them!
So this a simple, yet tasty recipe, designed for the less adventurous taste-testers amongst us.
Cheese and bacon for the win.
I do use a store-bought gluten-free puff pastry in this recipe, but you can of course make your own puff pastry too. If you don’t have the time, inclination or access to store-bought gluten free puff pastry, you could also try this recipe instead for a crustless mini quiche option.

I’ve included step-by-step photos below to make this recipe easy to follow along with. If you just want the full, printable recipe ingredient qualities and instructions, simply scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
Step 1: Preheat your oven. Brown off the onion and bacon in a small amount of oil, then allow to cool.
Step 2: Using a circle shaped cutter (that is slightly bigger than your mini muffin tray), cut out 24 circles of your gluten-free puff pastry. You may need a small dusting of gluten-free flour here.
Step 3: Lightly grease a mini muffin tray, and gently press your pastry circles into each hole.
Step 4: Spoon in the onion and bacon mixture into each hole, as well as a sprinkle of cheese to each:
Step 5: Combine your milk and eggs (and salt and pepper if using) in a small jug and whisk together. Gently pour the egg mixture into each pastry case, making sure not to overfill as the egg will rise as it cooks.
Step 6: Bake in the oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the quiches are golden brown and appear ‘set’ on top. Rest for a few minutes, before transferring them to a cooling tray.
Serve warm, or save for later.
