Mini Quiche Recipe
Mornings always feel like a marathon with two little humans. With so much to get done before heading out the door, breakfasts need to be EASY but also filling and nutritious.
That's why I meal prep breakfast on the weekends to enjoy throughout the week. This crustless quiche is one of our favorites. It takes very minimal effort to make - just stir, pour, and bake. My whole family loves it!
It is also highly customizable. You can add whatever vegetables and protein you have on hand, which helps reduce food waste.
I like to add salmon because it's one of the few guaranteed ways my kindergartener will eat canned salmon.
This and these mini baked salmon patties that is :).

Ingredients

I am highlighting just the ones that need further explanation. The complete list is in the recipe card below.
- Canned salmon - Wild caught Alaskan salmon has been shown to be the best option. Choose "no salt added" or "low sodium." Also, look for BPA-free lining. You may find small bones, which you don't need to go through the trouble of removing. They are edible and will provide a boost of calcium.
- Vegetables. Feel free to use whatever you have on hand. I like to use frozen peas and frozen broccoli (thaw before using).
- Greek yogurt - will help make the quiche moist and boost nutrition and flavor. It's seriously the perfect addition! You can also use cottage cheese.
- Eggs. Here are some more baby-friendly egg recipes! You'll also find answers to your burning questions like when can you introduce eggs? How many per day? etc.
Step by Step Instructions

- Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl, making sure the yogurt loosens up and gets well-incorporated into the egg mixture.
- Transfer to a 12-cup muffin pan. I LOVE to use my silicone pan for this because I don't have to deal with the glued-on egg nightmare that for whatever reason I inevitably face even when I grease a non-silicone pan.
- Top with cheese, if you wish.
Variations
Vegetables
This mini crustless quiche recipe is the perfect way to incorporate more veggies into your baby’s and child's diets! You can add either cooked or uncooked vegetables. If using the latter, be sure to finely chop before adding to the batter.
You an add:
- Bell peppers
- Broccoli
- Cabbage
- Carrots
- Cauliflower
- Onion (red onions, green onions)
- Peas
- Spinach
- Sweet potatoes
- Tomatoes
- Zucchini
Protein
Not a fan of salmon or don't have any on hand? You don't have to add any additional protein besides the eggs, but here are a few options if you have some on hand.
Cheese
While this is optional, it will add great flavor! You can use cheddar cheese, mozzarella, parmesan, swiss cheese...whatever you like!
Serving Suggestions
These mini quiches are a great finger food and also a complete meal for babies. They include an iron-rich food (salmon and eggs), high calorie food (Greek yogurt and cheese if using), and vegetables (broccoli and peas).
You can serve whole, halved, or cut into bite-sized pieces for babies who have developed their pincer grasp, usually around 8-9 months of age.
Storage Suggestions

In the fridge. Store in an airtight container for 3-5 days.
In the freezer. Flash freeze and store in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.
How to Reheat

Microwave frozen muffins for 1-2 minutes or refrigerated muffins for 20-25 seconds. You can also reheat in a toaster oven until warmed through.
You can enjoy cold too! Makes for a great no heating required lunch box addition.

Hello, i am looking forward to trying some of these muffin recipes for my baby. They look great and nutritious.
How would you recommend I serve it to a nearly 7 month old? Would cut in half be best?
Thank you!

Marzia says
just tried it! when flipped over i noticed quite a bit of bubbles, similar to when making a steamed egg. Was it overly cooked? Too much eggs?
Thanks!
Mehr says
Do we need to bake the salmon before hand ?
Min says
If using fresh salmon then yes needs to be cooked first. Otherwise there's no need!
Victoria says
Was looking for lunch idea for my 9 month old while we are in iso due to covid and saw this recipe but i onitted salmon and made them as veges egg crustless quiches instead. My girl loves it and demolished it in no time! Love how I can also freeze these.
Nice and moist and I use winter frozen veges bag we use to make stir fry for convenience without the prep. I did 'steamed' those in a bowl, with cling wrap over the top before cutting them to smaller pieces and then putting them to mixture for baking. Love your ig, sending love from Melbourne

You can but don't have to! Just be sure to finely chop

Haven't tried but should be fine. be sure to thaw before and no need to cook. Just finely chop!
Sheena says
Hello there,
This looks simple enough to try for my 11month old.
Can I substitute the greek yogurt with non-dairy yogurt (almond milk based)? If not, what's a good substitatue?
Thanks
Min says
You can!
Lauren says
