    About the recipe

    Having a few kid friendly snack recipes in ones repertoire is very important. These veggie pizza pinwheels and these mini vegetable uthappam are some of my kids favorites.

    Today I have a mini vegetable quiche recipe that is perfect for kids. A simple creamy egg based custard is packed with vegetables and baked until set. This is a very easy recipe to make and takes just a few minutes to put together.

    As the name suggests, these are the mini version of regular quiche. Since they are individually portioned they are great to serve as appetizer at parties or as an after school snack.

    The best part of this this recipe is that the recipe is easy to customize. Change up the vegetables and use what your kids love. I use finely chopped onion and peppers here, but spinach, cabbage, peas, broccoli etc. are all great options. Sometimes I also add some cheese.

    You can make these as crustless quiche by baking them directly in a mini muffin/ cupcake pan. Or use store bought phyllo/ fillo pastry cups, like I did. But store bought pie crust cut into rounds and baked in a muffin pan is also a great option.

    I love making this mini veggie quiche recipe for kids' parties and it is always a big hit with both kids and adults. Try these mini vegetarian quiches out and I am sure you will love them as much as we do.

      The mini quiches are adorable. They are perfect miniatures. I can see them on the appetizer tray and I know they wouldn't stay long. They'd be gobbled up in no time. I'm pinning for the holidays.
