Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Store-bought pie crust
- 6 slices Bacon
- 1 cup Smoked cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 units Large eggs
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives, finely chopped
- as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
Roll out the pie crust sheets on a floured surface. Use a 3-inch round cookie cutter to cut 12 circles. Gently press the circles into the prepared muffin tin to form mini crusts.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease, then crumble into small pieces and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Evenly distribute the crumbled bacon into the pie crusts. Next, sprinkle a generous pinch of smoked cheddar cheese over the bacon in each crust.
Carefully pour the egg mixture into each crust, filling to just below the edge. Do not overfill to prevent spilling during baking.
Sprinkle chopped chives over the top of each quiche for added flavor and color.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg filling is set and lightly golden on top.
Remove the quiches from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
