Ingredients
- 1 single pie crust, unbaked I used this pie crust, but you can use store-bought if preferred
- 5 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cups whole milk, heavy cream, or half-and-half
- generous pinch salt & pepper
- 1 cup thick-cut quality bacon (~6-8 slices) cooked and chopped into small pieces
- 1 ½ - 2 cups cheese shredded (gruyere and cheddar), divided.
- diced green onions or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the pie crust as directed and place in a 9 inch standard pie plate (not deep dish) and freeze for at least 60 minutes. Using a cold pie crust will help prevent the pie dough from slumping down as it bakes/crust keeps its shape. I use a pie plate like this one.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- For the filling, whisk together the eggs and milk.
- Then add in the salt, pepper, bacon pieces, and about 1 heaping cup of the cheese.
- Scatter some of the cheese on the bottom of the crust then pour the egg filling on top.
- Scatter remaining cheese over the top of the egg filling. Bake at 350°F on the lower or middle rack for about 40-50 minutes, or just until the edges are set but the center jiggles just a little. If the edges of the crust are beginning to brown, feel free to cover using a pie crust shield or foil.
- Add the diced green onions or parsley topping as desired. Allow quiche to cool for at least 20-30 minutes, then slice. It can be served hot, room temperature, or cold.
Notes
- Storage: Let the quiche cool completely then store quiche in the fridge for 3-4 days in an airtight container or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or foil.
- Freezing: Let the quiche cool completely after baking, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, followed by foil. Place it in a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for 2-3 months.
- Reheating frozen quiche: When you're ready to enjoy the quiche, let it defrost in the fridge overnight, remove the foil and plastic wrap, then bake at 350°F for 20-30 minutes or until it’s heated all the way through. (It’s important to reheat quiche gently to avoid overcooking the eggs.)
