Breakfast Quiches to Go


A few months ago I joined a Bunco group, which has been so much fun! There are 12 girls in the group and you meet once a month, so everyone gets a chance to host once a year. This month I was the host, so I was looking for some individual size appetizers. I decided to try these little breakfast quiches. They are made in regular size muffin trays so they aren't quite mini, but still good for a shower or party.

Here's the recipe:


2 cans (8 oz each) Pillsbury® refrigerated garlic butter crescent dinner rolls (8 rolls each)

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

3 eggs

1 small onion, chopped (1/4 cup)

1 box (9 oz) frozen chopped spinach, thawed, squeezed to drain

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon pepper

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 oz)


Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 16 (2 3/4x1 1/4-inch) muffin cups with cooking spray.


Separate each can of crescent dough into 8 triangles. Press 1 triangle on bottom and up side of each muffin cup.


In large bowl, beat cream cheese with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in onion, spinach, salt and pepper until well mixed. Fold in cheese. Fill each cup to the top with egg mixture (do not overfill).


Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean and edges of rolls are golden brown. Remove from pan. Serve warm.

I don't have that many pictures because it was really easy to make. You just put the Pillsbury dough in the muffin tins (can any recipe with Pillsbury crescents turn out bad??).


Then you mix the other ingredients and pour them in the cups.


I had a little extra of the filling, so I just poured that in muffin cups sprayed with cooking spray. They turned out really well too - and I'm sure they are better for you than the ones with crusts.


The quiche turned out really yummy. I would definitely make them again. I like that they are packed with spinach (a superfood!). I think having a cream cheese base is a nice touch too. The inside part is so good you could certainly make them all without crusts, but Brent said that was his favorite part...

They all were eaten up, so I give them an A+!

Just for fun, here are some other pictures from the party:
