Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 8 slices Canadian bacon
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 small onion (finely diced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Press the pre-made pie crust into a standard 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess dough hanging over the edges.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, lightly sauté the diced onion until softened, about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
Lay the Canadian bacon slices evenly across the bottom of the pie crust to cover the surface.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the Canadian bacon.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Stir in the sautéed onions and optional chopped parsley (if using) into the egg mixture.
Pour the egg mixture over the Canadian bacon and cheese layer in the pie crust, filling it just below the edge of the crust.
Carefully transfer the quiche to the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Allow the quiche to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
