Tips

  • Eggs provide Vitamin D. Vitamin D is needed for healthy bones and teeth.  
  • This is a simple recipe that kids can help make. They are more likely to eat things they have made themselves. 
  • Make this vegetarian by leaving out the chicken. 

  • This is a good recipe for using up leftover cooked chicken or leftover cooked vegetables. 
  • Take leftovers for lunch or pop in the freezer in an airtight container. 

  • Eggs provide a low cost, easy to prepare source of protein and other nutrients. 
  • Frozen and canned peas and corn can be a cheaper option when fresh vegetables are expensive. 
  • You can reduce the cost of this recipe by leaving out the mushrooms and capsicum and just using 1 cup of peas and 1 cup of corn. 

Method

Step 1
Pre-heat oven to 200oC. Grease a 12-hole muffin tray with olive oil.

Step 2
In a large jug, beat the eggs, milk and a pinch of salt together.

Step 3
In the bottom of each muffin hole, place some chicken, mushrooms, capsicum, peas and corn.

Step 4
Pour in the egg mixture and top with half a tomato and some cheese.

Step 5
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden.

Food safety tip: If you are packing for lunch, these quiches need to be kept cold so pack an ice brick.
