Easter Brunch Idea: Crust-less Mini Quiche Recipe

Growing up, I used to make a huge and delicious Easter brunch for my family – complete with festive breads, muffins and casseroles.  It was a labor of love and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

These days, although I still love to celebrate, I also value simplicity  as I consider how to make holidays special.

So these Crustless Mini-Quiche fit the bill perfectly.  They are delicious, a special treat, and easy to whip up in advance to make Easter morning stress-free and enjoyable.

I purchased all of the ingredients at ALDI for under $10.  (When ALDI’s eggs are only $0.78/dozen it’s pretty easy to make this a frugal dish!)

Shopping List:

• 8 Goldhen Large Eggs
• 1 cup Happy Farms Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
• 20 grape tomatoes (I used Roma)
• 1/2 cup mushrooms
• 1/2 cup onion
• 1/2 tsp. Stonemill Essentials Salt
• 1/2 tsp. Stonemill Essentials Black Pepper
• Little Salad Bar Premium Salsa (optional)

Recipe:

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Step 2: Saute chopped onion and mushrooms until onions are translucent and mushrooms are juicy.  Set aside.

Step 3: In a medium bowl, whisk eggs together and add salt and pepper.

Step 4: Add in cheese, onion and mushroom mixture and diced grape tomatoes.

Step 5: Grease a muffin pan and scoop the mixture into the pan. (Grease generously.)

Step 6: Bake for 10-20 minutes or until firm and slightly brown on top.

Step 7: Serve with a side of salsa or diced tomatoes.

How about you?  What dishes do you like to serve to celebrate Easter?
