Lunch in a Jar: Mini Crustless Quiche

August 23, 2018 by Laura 3 Comments

If we can bake Quick Bread in a Jar we can certainly bake Mini Crustless Quiche in jars. Check this out!

Surely your first question is: “If I bake quiches in jars, then pack them in a lunch, won’t they taste weird since they are cold?”

You would think so. But these quiches actually taste good cold. Or, if you have the ability to rewarm them, that’s great too. <— Laura states the obvious.

Just like so many Lunch in a Jar ideas we are sharing this month, these Mini Crustless Quiches can be made to order. Add or exclude whatever your family likes. It’s super easy to line up several jars and fill them using an “assembly line” method.

If you have cooked meat, put some in each jar per people’s preferences. If the kids won’t scream too loud about it, add some fresh spinach. Crack in 1-2 eggs per 8-ounce jar (1 if you have a lot of add-ins, 2 if you are more focused on eggs than meat/veggies/cheese). Add in any goodies you like: onions, sweet peppers, shredded cheese, cooked sausage, cooked bacon, chopped ham, leftover chicken – the options are only limited to your preferences and what you have on hand!

I recommend 8-ounce wide mouth jars for each Mini Crustless Quiche as they are easier to clean afterward. But truly, any 8-ounce jar will work!

    These are great. I bring these to work and just microwave them to cook the eggs. :) I haven’t done it in a while and this is a great reminder, thanks!

    I don’t have wide mouth 8oz jars. If I use an 8oz jelly jar should I increase the cooking time?
    No need to cook the onion or vegetable add ins before ? I’m going to try carrots, onion and zucchini. Thanks so much for sharing all of these great jar recipes!!!

      I don’t think you’d need to increase the time if you use a jelly jar. You might saute the veggies before hand, but only a little bit. :)
