Savory Bacon and Broccoli Quiche

Ingredients

• Pie crust (1 (9-inch), store-bought or homemade)
• Bacon (6 strips, cooked and crumbled)
• Broccoli (1 cup, chopped into small florets)
• Cheddar cheese (1 cup, shredded)
• Eggs (4 large)
• Milk (1 cup)
• Dried thyme (1 teaspoon)
• Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
• Salt (1/4 teaspoon)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the pie crust by placing it in a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges to create a decorative border.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
4. Sprinkle half of the crumbled bacon, chopped broccoli, and shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the pie crust.
5. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the bacon, broccoli, and cheese, ensuring even distribution.
6. Layer the remaining bacon, broccoli, and cheddar cheese on top of the egg mixture for added texture and flavor.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and the top is golden brown.
8. Remove from the oven and allow the quiche to cool for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
