Breakfast with a Kick: {Southwestern Biscuit Quiches}

Posted: January 31, 2013

Well my friends, I did it again. (No oops about it). I created a masterpiece that you can customize to your specific liking: biscuit quiches. Similar to my many varieties of greek yogurt banana breads, I will continue to bake and create new varieties of these yummy breakfast beauties in the weeks to come!  After the inaugural Egg & Sweet Potato Biscuit Quiche that Dear Hubby declared to be the "best breakfast I'd ever made in 8 years of marriage", I wanted to spice things up a bit.  Lord knows I need a kick in the morning, especially lately with our new crazy busy schedule, my lingering cough of death, and my toddler who decided she no longer likes to sleep.

A little kick for your morning:

I started by adding pepper jack cheese, a chunky black bean and corn salsa, and Chobani plain yogurt.

I was pleasantly surprised at how beautiful they turned out....AGAIN.

Light. Fluffy. Baked cheese-y goodness, with a kick. These are perfect for a brunch with friends or for a quick and easy weekday breakfast at home.

Southwestern Biscuit Quiches

Description

Southwestern Biscuit Quiches // @noshandnourish

Ingredients

5  
Eggs
1 tablespoon
Plain Chobani greek yogurt
1⁄3 cup
Pepper Jack Cheese
1⁄3 cup
Colby Jack Cheese
1⁄2 cup
Chunky Salsa (I used black bean/corn salsa)
1 tablespoon
Milk
1 can
Pillsbury Biscuits (I used the Southern Homestyle variety)

Notes

This recipe made 12 full muffin cups, plus an additional ramekin dish with an individual serving.

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 (I now use a convection oven).
  2. Mix all ingredients, except for the biscuits, in a medium mixing bowl.
  3. Spray a muffin tin with non-stick spray.
  4. Open your can of biscuits and cut each biscuit in half.
  5. Press the biscuit halves into each muffin cup.
  6. Pour on the egg mixture over each piece of biscuit, filling each cup almost to the top.
  7. Place a cookie sheet on the rack under the muffin tin, for any overages... a few of mine dripped a little from being too full.
  8. Bake for 28 minutes in the convection oven. (I'm guessing if you're not using convection, you'll need to bake more like 30 - 35 minutes). Take out when the egg is cooked and slightly browned on the top.
  9. Enjoy!

I made these this morning as a special Friday breakfast treat for me and the wife. First off, let me say, like all of your recipes I have tried so far this is very easy to make.

I cooked mine in the oven for 21 minutes. On the biscuit package it said 17 minutes, so I started with that time. When the time was up, I did the 'ol toothpick test to see if it came out with egg when I poked it. The egg wasn't quite cooked, so I popped it back in the oven for 4 more minutes (21 minutes total) and it was perfect.

I tried your sweet potato quiche before this one, and it was delicious. But for what its worth, I like this one much better. Maybe it's just the southern boy in me, but these flavors suit me better.

So the final verdict...outstanding! But I've come to expect nothing less from your recipes. :-) Tonight I'm going to make that pork tenderloin recipe you posted. I'll let you know what the family and I think!

I really enjoyed making these. I made some plain (just egg and cheese) , some with the salsa but I added turkey sausage too.

They stuck a bit to my muffin tins so make sure you use plenty of cooking spray.

I also used a convection oven and it only took about 17 minutes.

We enjoyed the new recipe!

How many quiches do you count as a breakfast serving

Submitted by kelly - February 13, 2013 - 5:15pm

For me, two is a great serving.

I am confused about cutting the bisquits in half...do we put in one of the halves or both go into each tin?

Only half a biscuit in each muffin cup. So the recipe only really uses 6 of the 8 biscuits in the can. I usually bake the other 2 separately so they don't get wasted.
