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
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 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.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Evenly sprinkle half of the crumbled bacon and half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the bottom of the pie crust.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture over the bacon and cheese layer, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
- Top the quiche with the remaining bacon and cheddar cheese, finishing with a garnish of sliced green onions for a fresh pop of flavor.
- 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.
- 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.
Tips
- For a spicy kick, consider adding diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the egg mixture.
- Feel free to swap out the cheddar cheese for other varieties like Gruyère or Swiss for a different flavor profile.
- You can add vegetables such as spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms to increase the nutritional value and enhance the flavor.
