Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pre-made pie crust
- 6 slices Bacon
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Milk
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 cup Onion (optional, finely chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, chopped for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges if needed. Set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet, place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease, and crumble it into small pieces once cool.
If using onions, sauté them in the same skillet with a small amount of the reserved bacon grease until they are soft and translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon, cheddar cheese, and sautéed onions (if using) evenly into the prepared pie crust.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until thoroughly combined.
Pour the egg mixture over the bacon, cheese, and onions in the pie crust, ensuring it spreads evenly.
Carefully transfer the pie dish to the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
