Step-by-Step Preparation: How to Make Mini Spinach Mushroom Quiches

Step 1: Preheat Oven and Prep Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray.

Step 2: Sauté Veggies
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped mushrooms and cook until moisture evaporates (5-6 minutes). Stir in spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3: Make Egg Mixture
In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 4: Assemble Muffin Quiches
Evenly distribute the mushroom-spinach mixture among muffin cups. Top with shredded cheese. Pour egg mixture over until nearly full.

Step 5: Bake
Bake for 18-22 minutes or until eggs are set and tops are slightly golden.

Step 6: Cool and Serve
Let quiches cool for a few minutes before removing from pan. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Pro Tips for the Best Quiche Muffins

• Use silicone muffin liners for easy removal and cleanup
• Let cooked vegetables cool slightly to avoid scrambling the eggs
• Don’t overbake – check doneness at 18 minutes to retain softness

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Overfilling the muffin cups, which causes overflow
• Skipping grease or liners, leading to sticking
• Using watery vegetables without cooking them first
