In the realm of breakfast and brunch favorites, the individual tortilla quiche stands out as a delightful culinary creation that tantalizes taste buds with its symphony of flavors and textures. These miniature quiches, expertly crafted with a crispy tortilla base, a velvety custard filling, and a medley of savory ingredients, offer a delightful symphony of flavors in every bite.
With three variations to choose from - Spinach and Feta, Roasted Red Pepper and Goat Cheese, and Ham and Swiss - this recipe caters to diverse palates and preferences. Each variation offers a unique combination of ingredients that blend harmoniously to create a satisfying and memorable culinary experience.

Last but not least, the ham and Swiss variation delivers a classic flavor profile with the salty smokiness of ham, the nutty flavor of Swiss cheese, and the herbaceousness of chives, resulting in a satisfying and comforting dish.
These individual tortilla quiches are not only delicious but also incredibly versatile. They can be easily customized with your favorite fillings and toppings, making them a perfect way to use up leftover vegetables, cheese, or meat. Whether you're preparing a quick and easy breakfast, a satisfying brunch, or a light lunch, these quiches are guaranteed to be a hit with family and friends.

Steps:
- I like to make sure my pie dough is prepared before I begin mini quiche. Make pie dough the night before because it needs to chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before using.
- In a large bowl with a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment- or simply using a whisk and mixing bowl- beat/whisk the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, salt, and pepper together (on high speed if using a mixer) until completely combined, about 1 minute. Cover and refrigerate egg filling until step 6.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (191°C). Grease two 24-count mini muffin pans. (Nonstick spray is best.) If you only have 1 mini muffin pan, bake these in batches. Roll out first pie dough, fill, and bake then roll out the 2nd pie dough, fill, and bake.
- Working with 1 chilled pie dough at a time, place the dough onto a floured work surface. Roll into a large 12-inch circle. Use your warm hands to mold any cracking edges back together as you see me doing in the video tutorial above. From the circle, cut rounds using a 2.5 inch cookie cutter. (Sometimes I use my 1/3 cup measuring cup, which is 2.5 inches in diameter.) You'll have to re-roll the dough scraps a few times. Work quickly, as the dough becomes much more delicate the longer it's at room temperature. You'll get about 24 rounds per pie crust. Repeat with 2nd chilled pie dough for a total of about 48.
- Place the dough rounds into greased 24-count mini muffin pan(s). Press the dough flat into the bottom of the crevice and up the sides.
- Evenly pour cold egg filling into each unbaked crust. Top evenly with add-ins, then sprinkle each with cheese.
- Bake mini quiches until the center is just about set and edges are lightly browned, about 25-28 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pan. If greased well, the mini quiches pop right out using a spoon to scoop them up. Serve warm or at room temperature
- Mini quiches make great leftovers! Cover tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
