Cheddar Cheese and Bacon Quiche

Ingredients

• Pie crust (1 (9-inch), pre-made or homemade)
• Bacon (6 slices, cooked and crumbled)
• Cheddar cheese (1 1/2 cups, shredded)
• Eggs (4 large)
• Milk (1 cup)
• Green onions (1/4 cup, sliced)
• Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
• Black pepper (1/4 teaspoon)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, gently pressing it into the corners and crimping the edges to form a decorative border.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
4. Evenly sprinkle half of the crumbled bacon and half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the bottom of the pie crust.
5. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the bacon and cheese layer, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
6. Top the quiche with the remaining bacon and cheddar cheese, finishing with a garnish of sliced green onions for a fresh pop of flavor.
7. Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown and bubbly.
8. Once baked, remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set further for cleaner slices.
