Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 unit pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup grated cheese (e.g., cheddar, gruyere, or Swiss)
- 0.5 cup cooked and crumbled bacon (optional)
- 0.5 cup diced vegetables (e.g., spinach, mushrooms, bell peppers) (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Fit the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess dough. Use a fork to gently prick the bottom of the crust to prevent bubbling.
Bake the crust (empty) for 10 minutes. Once done, remove it from the oven and lower the temperature to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Sprinkle half of the grated cheese evenly onto the pre-baked crust.
If using, evenly distribute the cooked bacon and diced vegetables over the cheese layer.
Pour the egg mixture over the bacon, vegetables, and cheese, ensuring it spreads evenly.
Top the quiche with the remaining cheese.
Bake the quiche at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden brown.
Let the quiche cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
