Quiche Lorraine Bites are packed with all the delicious flavors of Quiche Lorraine, and perfect for serving at a breakfast, brunch, or even cocktail party! They can be served right out of the oven or at room temperature….either way, they’re completely delicious!
I’ve partnered with Phil’s Fresh Eggs to bring you this post. As always, all ideas and opinions are my own!
Have I ever told you about my vast love of eggs, or the fact that I eat them for breakfast every. single. morning? It’s true! As much as I love the pancakes and muffins and all things carb….my love for eggs takes the cake. And my kids love them, too! Which means that we go through a LOT of eggs around here.
It’s not unusual to look in my fridge and see 4 dozen of them at any given time. Because I know we’ll use them! And there’s nothing more disappointing than pouring my first cup of coffee, reaching for the eggs, and remembering they’re all gone. I just can’t do it. Not in the morning.
So when Phil’s Fresh Eggs asked if I’d like to partner with them, it took me about 2.2 seconds to answer YES!!! What better way to share my love of eggs with all of you? Especially when they’re eggs you can feel good about.
Have you heard of Phil’s Fresh Eggs? It’s a family run, second generation, cage-free egg production facility based in Forreston, Illinois. Started in the late 1950’s, Phil’s Fresh Eggs developed and pioneered the cage-free egg production model that is utilized around the world today. Phil’s eggs are the result of happy hens allowed freedoms that caged birds never experience. Along the same lines, the chickens eat a healthy diet of corn, soybeans and other grains. Phil’s never uses any animal proteins, drugs, hormones, antibiotics or genetically modified (GMO) corn. The end result is simple: happier chickens and BETTER TASTING EGGS!
Which means better tasting Quiche Lorraine Bites….something you should be very happy about. You may remember I posted a recipe for Crustless Quiche Lorraine back in March. And as much as I love the crustless version, I really love these little bites! There’s something about the crispy phyllo shells paired with the fluffy eggs, the cheese, the bacon….you get the picture. They’re little bites of bliss!
And the thing I love most about them is that they’re so versatile. They would be perfect, not only for breakfast or brunch, but for a bite-sized party appetizer. One that’s sure to be a hit. Who ever said that eggs are just for breakfast, anyway? Certainly not me! Eat up!

I’m also an egg-every-morning kind of girl!! And good eggs, man they are the way to go!! These quiche look amazing–so pretty (and assuming also very delicious)! Will be trying this recipe soon!

I’ve grown to love the protein power of an egg over the years without question! These mini quiche bits look delicious and I’ll have to look for Phil’s!

I have never seen these phyllo shells before! Are they in the refrigerated section with the rest of the phyllo dough?
Penny says
They are usually found in the frozen foods case with the frozen bread doughs.
marcie says
I LOVE eggs and eat them as often as possible! Phil’s Fresh Eggs sound great, and what an amazing recipe, Cathy! I love how versatile these quiche bites are and I would have trouble walking away from these. 🙂
Lane & Holly @ With Two Spoons says

Victoria Judson says
Could you make these the night before?
Geena says
Love the quiche bites! How long can they be out in room temperature? We are interested in serving these in our cafe and do not have a lot of room to heat them or store in fridge. If we want to show case them, how safe is it to keep them out in room temp? Can they go from fridge to plate? How are they cold? Thank you
Estelle says
I would also like to know if they csn be made ahead and reheated or eaten cold
Cathy Trochelman says
The phyllo shells would lose their crunch if refrigerated but can be brought to room temperature and eaten that way.
Joanne says
Can these be made ahead, frozen, and then reheated like a quiche? Thanks so much!
Cathy Trochelman says
I’ve never tried it, but it sounds like it would work!
Gretchen says
My shells come frozen do I thaw first?
Patti says
Are the phyllo shells baked or raw?
Cathy Trochelman says
For this recipe I used the pre-baked frozen ones.
Brittany says
I made these today and they puffed up over the shells!! I was disappointed in how they looked :/
Cathy Trochelman says
So sorry you had that experience, Brittany.
Whitney says
I’m very confused since the ingredients are different then the instructions…it says Swiss cheese and the instructions say cream cheese? Also it doesn’t mention doing the bites only the larger size. Do you brush the crust with butter?
Cathy Trochelman says
Hi Whitney! The instructions actually read “cream” and then “cheese”, but I can see where this is confusing. The recipe uses phyllo shells, which are little bite sized tart shells. You do not need to brush them with butter.
