Mini Crustless Asparagus Red Bell Pepper Ham Quiche are perfect for Easter breakfast or brunch, as well as weekdays. These mini quiches are also portable, reheat well, and are great for on-the-go days. Sponsored by Peapod.
Today, I’m sharing an Easter Brunch recipe that I developed for Peapod. I love brunch and these Mini Crustless Asparagus Red Bell Pepper Ham Quiche are the perfect addition to any Easter brunch spread, with a Spring theme.
Since these mini quiches are crustless, they are less work than regular quiches, and they’re naturally gluten-free. I like to divide all the filling ingredients evenly into the muffin tins before pouring in the egg mixture to ensure each mini quiche gets the same amount of asparagus, ham and cheese.
If you’re entertaining for Easter, you can save a lot of time by ordering your groceries and supplies from Peapod online or using their app. They carry everything you need for your Easter table, including fresh flowers and egg decorating kits.

Recipe Notes
These can be stored in the refrigerator, but I recommend putting a paper towel underneath the quiches to absorb any excess liquid. Reheat in a toaster oven or microwave briefly.

This is my kind of recipe, and my kids and hubby would adore it! Pinning and yumming now 🙂
Thank you Liz!
For my kids’ lunches. I’m running out of ideas for lunchboxes…but they would love these. Yup. Even cold! One question: Whenever I made mini egg cups in muffin pans, I dislike the cleanup of stuck-on egg. Any tips for cleanup? (:
I use a non-stick muffin pan and spray with cooking spray. To remove the quiches, I run a plastic knife around the edges and use a spoon or fork to get them out. As for cleaning the muffin pan, I use a non-stick pan scrubbing sponge, then run it through my dishwasher.
This would be a great easy appetizer for Easter Brunch or any day! Love how many vegetable are in hiding in here for all to be secretly nourished. 😀
Thanks Laura – yes, it’s a great way to disguise veggies 😉
These sound nice Jeanette. Thank you and Happy Easter.
Happy Easter Liz!
Thank you for this REALLY great recipe! I made them for Easter brunch and they were even better 3 days later. I had no trouble with them sticking- just used PAM on my very old muffin tins. I will make them again jut to keep in the fridge for a healthy snack.
Cindi – I am so glad these turned out great for you! I make a batch and keep them in the fridge during the weekday to heat up for my son’s breakfast.
I love your ideas! Will be putting this one into my recipe box!
