Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made or homemade (9-inch) pie crust
- 6 slices bacon
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or Gruyere)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped green onions (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges if necessary and crimp the edges for a decorative finish. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then crumble into small pieces once cooled.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until smooth and well combined.
Stir in the shredded cheese, salt, black pepper, crumbled bacon, and green onions (if using).
Pour the filling mixture into the prepared pie crust, ensuring the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Place the quiche on the center oven rack and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. To check doneness, insert a knife or toothpick into the center—it should come out clean.
Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
