These little Meat Lovers Mini Quiche come together in a flash and would be a great addition to your next brunch. The pre-made shells look fancy enough for any party, or they’re easy enough to make any day of the week.
When Athens Foods asked me to create a brunch recipe using their crispy mini fillo shells my Meat Lovers Quiche came to mind. It’s one of my most popular recipes, and turning it into a quicker, easier to make, fun bite-size version seemed like a great idea.
Recipe Round Up: I’ve joined a fun group of bloggers to put together a roundup of recipes on the first day of every month. This month we’re sharing Bite Size Brunch Recipes.

Making Meat Lovers Mini Quiche
To make the recipe easier, I used pre-cooked bacon, pre-cooked link sausages, along with a little diced ham. I combined the meats with some pre-shredded cheese and quickly chopped up some green onion.
You add the meat mixture to the shells first. Then slowly pour the egg on top of the meats so the egg fills in around the meat. It was easiest if I held the shell in my hand when I poured the egg in so I didn’t over fill the shell.
These little meat lovers quiche would be a great way to use some of the leftover ham. Or, I like to buy a thick slice of my favorite ham at the deli counter.
I couldn’t have been more pleased with how these quiche turned out. They looked so puffy and golden brown when I took them out of the oven. My family quickly devoured them. I’m sure your family will too.

I love quiches! Can’t wait to make this. What kind of cheese do you recommend trying with it? Love eating quiches with a dab of hot sauce 🙂

Hi Rachel – I usually have a shredded cheddar Monterrey jack cheese on hand. So that’s what I used in this recipe, but you could use whatever cheese you prefer.

This looks yummy ~ wondering about making a lot for an event ~ when the purchased shells would be cost prohibitive. Could I perhaps use the shell dough I would use for pecan tassies? Thanks!
