Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pre-made pie crust
- 6 strips Vegetarian bacon
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and crimp the edges as desired.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the vegetarian bacon strips until crispy, about 5 minutes per side. Let them cool slightly, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until combined.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and paprika to the egg mixture. Stir until well combined.
Fold in the cooked vegetarian bacon pieces and chopped green onions.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust and spread evenly.
Place the quiche on a baking sheet to catch any drips and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Allow the quiche to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
