Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust pre-made pie crust
- 6 slices bacon
- 4 eggs large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon nutmeg
- 0.25 cup chopped green onions
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edges if necessary.
Blind-bake the crust by lining it with parchment paper and filling it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove the weights and parchment paper, and bake for another 5 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Once cool, chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and whole milk until well combined.
Stir in the chopped bacon, shredded Swiss cheese, salt, black pepper, nutmeg, and chopped green onions.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Place the quiche in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is just set and the top is lightly golden.
Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
