Thank you I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!® for sponsoring this post. Check out the newly transformed buttery spread, now made from real, simple ingredients, and leave your review here!
When I’m having a holiday brunch or looking for a chic appetizer idea, mini quiches are the perfect bite. One of my favorite flavor combinations is mushrooms, onions and pancetta or bacon so when I was thinking of a fantastic appetizer idea, I immediately thought of a mini quiche with pancetta and mushrooms at the forefront. I love using muffin tins for making mini bites – easy cleanup, easy portioning and no fuss! Muffin tins are not just for baking muffins anymore. Your guests will have no idea how easy it is to whip up these chic appetizers.
When I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter sent some of their new formula to play with, I decided that I’d incorporate it into this recipe. Using this buttery spread would help save on the fat and calories of these quiche because the new I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter spread has 40% fewer calories and 70% less saturated fat than butter. Also – one that that I love about the new formula is that it’s made from real simple ingredients – plant based oils, purified water and a pinch of salt. So, between coating the muffin tins and using the rich buttery flavored spread to saute the mushrooms and shallots, I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter went above and beyond and the flavor of these quiche were out of this world! Added bonus – no quiche stuck to the muffin tins – easy cleanup!
When you are looking for some entertaining ideas or want to whip up a fab breakfast bite, why not make these Mini Pancetta Mushroom Quiche

- Roughly dice up the mushrooms and add to the egg mixture.
- Add the shallots and cooled pancetta and mix thoroughly.
- Add some of the quiche mixture to each cup so that it's filled two-thirds full.
- Bake for 25 minutes or so, until puffed and golden.
- Remove to a cooling rack to cool for 5 to 10 minutes and then remove the quiches from the muffin tins to a plate.
- These are great either at room temperature or slightly warm.
