This easy 5 Minute Microwave Quiche is a great option for a quick breakfast or a simple dinner.  Adjust the ingredients to suit your taste or for whatever you have on-hand!

5 Minute Microwave Quiche

How many recipes do you have in your recipe box that can be prepped in just 5 minutes and can be easily customized for every person in your family?  This is a quick go-to meal that is packed with protein.  You could even prep it as a buffet-style line where everyone can add their own ingredients and head over to the microwave to cook their quiche.  I have to admit that this 5 Minute Microwave Quiche is a staple for a quick meal, but I do enjoy making this as a full, pie-sized quiche, recipe at Crustless Breakfast Quiche.

Since most people have access to a microwave at work, this makes an awesome breakfast to eat at your desk.  In the pictures, I’ve used a half-pint, wide-mouth canning jar (8 oz) for the recipe.  Just add the ingredients to the jar except for the toast.  You can keep it in a separate baggie until you’re ready to microwave your quiche.  Check out my other DIY Lean Cuisine recipes that are great microwave work meals, Sun-Dried Tomato and Pesto Pasta and Sun-Dried Tomato Basil Soup.

This is such an easy recipe, but I should mention that it is very important that your microwave-safe dish is tall enough to allow the egg to expand while cooking. The eggs reach just over the top of the wide-mouthed jar while it is cooking in the microwave, then settle as it cools down.  A coffee mug would be a good choice for this recipe.

Easy Microwave Quiche

Rating  5 from 1 reviews

Ingredients

• Cooking spray
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon 1% milk
• 1 tablespoon diced ham
• 1 teaspoon sliced chives
• pinch of garlic powder (1/8 teaspoon)
• pinch of onion powder (1/8 teaspoon)
• ¼ cup shredded cheese (1 ounce)
• half of a slice of toasted sandwich bread

Instructions

1. Coat the inside of a microwave safe dish (see notes) with cooking spray
2. Combine the egg and milk and whisk together
3. Add the ham, chives, garlic powder, onion powder and cheese
4. Mix well
5. Tear toast into small pieces, add to quiche and stir
6. Cook 30 seconds in microwave on high.
7. Remove from microwave and stir
8. Cook 40 seconds to one minute more on high
9. Stir. It's ok if the eggs are slightly liquid in the middle at this point, they will continue to cook as you mix the hot edges into the rest of the eggs
10. (Microwave oven cooking times will vary)

Notes

My microwave is 1.65 kw / 1650 watts
The eggs will rise up the sides of the cooking dish, so be sure to choose a dish that has enough height to allow for this.
