These easy mini quiche cups are wraps filled with three different flavours: spinach and feta, ham and cheese or chicken and corn.
I’ve created these super easy and tasty quiche cups to help you with the school lunches. With three different filling options this recipe is perfect for lunchbox fillers, after school snacks or even party food.
You can use any type of wraps to make these mini quiches - Wholemeal, White, Spinach, or even gluten free.
How to make these easy quiche cups:
First of all grease the muffin tin with oil or butter, cut the bread or wraps into circles to fit the tin holes. If you are using bread as the cases bake them first for 5 minutes, this will stop them from becoming soggy once the filling is added. You don't need to do this for the wraps as they will crisp up nicely. Mix together the ingredients for the filling then divide evenly between the cases.
Bake the mini quiche cups until golden and the filling is cooked through. These are best served warm and fresh out of the oven. But you can reheat them as a snack or you can serve them cold in lunch boxes.
If you want to serve these as a light meal you can pair two or three with a nice salad. These tasty fillings would also work really well in puff pastry as mini pies.
I like to add a couple to my boys school lunch boxes so that I know they are having a healthy snack at school. The ham and cheese are their favourite flavour and the mini quiches are a great quick dinner to whip up too. Or for a simple, yet flavoursome shortcrust quiche, why not give my Cheese Quiche a go.

Common questions about Mini Quiche Cups:
How long will these keep for? Once cooled, keep these in the fridge and eat within two days of making them.
What other flavours could I make? The options are endless! Swap out or add in tomatoes, cooked sausage, mushroom, feta, bacon or anything else your kids like to eat.

Could these be made in silicone muffin trays or are metal better do they they can be greased?
VJ cooks
I haven't tried silicone sorry, but I think it would work. Let me know how you get on.
Rose
Can the tortilla cups be made in advance & filled later for a garden party.
VJ cooks
I bake the tortillas with the filling inside. But you could cook them in advance and serve them later.
Jade
Can you freeze these after making for future lunchbox fillers?
VJ cooks
Yes you can 🙂
