🥘 Ingredients

10 items

• 1 piece Pre-made pie crust
• 8 ounces Cream cheese
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 cup Heavy cream

📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any overhanging edges and prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling during baking.

3. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Set aside to soften further.

4. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until well combined.

5. Gradually add the softened cream cheese to the egg mixture, whisking until it is fully incorporated and smooth.

6. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and fresh chives.

7. If using cooked bacon, crumble it into small pieces and add it to the mixture.

8. Pour the quiche filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.

9. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is golden brown and the center is set (a knife inserted in the center should come out clean).

10. Let the quiche cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing to allow it to set fully.

11. Serve warm or at room temperature with a side salad or fresh fruit for a complete meal.
