Your photo of quick mini quiche bites appears to have a crust, but doesn’t indicated in the recipe, am I missing something?
Great question! The muffin tin quiches in this recipe don’t have a crust—they’re made crustless for a lighter, easier option. The golden edges you see in the photo might look like a crust, but it’s actually just the eggs and cheese browning beautifully in the oven! If you’re craving a crust, you could try lining the muffin tins with pre-made pastry dough or even a slice of bread pressed into the tin before adding the egg mixture.
