How to Make It
Prepare the Filling
In a bowl, whisk the eggs, cream, and seasonings until slightly frothy. Stir in the chopped ham (or cooked bacon), broccoli florets, shredded cheese, and dried minced onion until everything is evenly combined. This creates a flavorful, ready-to-bake filling in just a few simple steps.
Prepare the Crust
Cut a hole in the center of each brioche slice, saving any leftover bread for croutons or a breakfast casserole. Place the slices gently into the muffin tin to form a crust. Brush each cup with softened butter for a crispy, flavorful base.
Assemble and Bake
Give the filling a quick stir, then spoon it evenly into each brioche crust. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes, or until the custard is set and the crust is golden brown. Let the quiche cups cool in the muffin tin for at least 10 minutes, then carefully loosen the edges and remove each one.
Storage and Reheating
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator or freezer. To reheat, preheat your air fryer or toaster oven to 350°F (175°C) and warm the quiche cups for 2–3 minutes in the air fryer or 4–5 minutes in the toaster oven, until heated through. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the crust soggy.
