Ingredients
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 tablespoons Milk or Cream
  • 2 tablespoons Shredded Cheese (Cheddar, Gruyere, or your favorite)
  • 1 tablespoon Cooked Ham, Bacon, or Sausage (diced)
  • pinch Salt
  • pinch Black Pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Optional: Chopped chives or green onions

Getting Started

Find a microwave-safe mug or ramekin. Grease the inside lightly with butter or cooking spray. This will prevent the quiche from sticking.

Mixing the Ingredients

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, milk or cream, salt, and pepper until well combined. Add the shredded cheese and diced cooked ham (or bacon/sausage) to the egg mixture. Stir gently to distribute the ingredients evenly.

Microwaving

Pour the egg mixture into the prepared mug or ramekin. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, or until the quiche is set. Cooking time will vary depending on your microwave's power, start with 1 minute and add 30-second intervals until it is fully cooked.

Let it cool and add some ingredients

Let the quiche cool for a minute or two before serving. Garnish with chopped chives or green onions, if desired.

Enjoy!

FAQ

  • Can I add vegetables to these quiches?

    Yes! Feel free to add finely chopped vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, bell peppers, or onions. Make sure they are cooked before adding them to the egg mixture.
  • Can I make these ahead of time?

    While best served immediately, you can prepare the egg mixture ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Be sure to whisk it again before microwaving.
  • My quiche is rubbery. What did I do wrong?

    Overcooking can cause the quiche to become rubbery. Reduce the cooking time slightly and check for doneness more frequently.
  • Can I use a different type of cheese?

    Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese to find your favorite flavor combination. Gruyere, mozzarella, and Monterey Jack are all good options.
