Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 6 slices Bacon
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (fresh and chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan, trimming or crimping the edges if desired. Use a fork to poke small holes in the bottom to prevent bubbling. Pre-bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, then set it aside to cool.
While the crust is baking, chop the bacon into small pieces and cook in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the cooked bacon with a slotted spoon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, sauté the minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well-combined.
Add the cooked bacon and sautéed garlic into the egg mixture. Stir to incorporate evenly.
Pour the mixture into the pre-baked pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden. You can insert a knife or toothpick into the center to check—if it comes out clean, it’s ready.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top for garnish.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Carbonara Quiche!
