Ingredients

  • 1 pie crust, softened as directed on the box
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 eggs, slightly beaten
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 8 lices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • ½ cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese
  • ⅓ cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the pie crust in a shallow 9-inch glass pie plate. Double-fold the edges of the crust and crimp.
  2. Add 8 slices of cooked and crumbled bacon and cheese to the bottom of the pie crust.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix milk, slightly beaten eggs, salt, and pepper, then pour over the bacon and cheese.
  4. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a knife, inserted in the center, comes out clean. Let set for 5-10 minutes before cutting.

Notes

  • Blind bake. To prevent the pie crust from bubbling and reduce shrinking, line it with parchment paper or foil, fill it with pie weights, dried beans, or rice, and bake for 10-12 minutes.
  • Prep ahead.  Wrap the unbaked quiche tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Let it sit on the counter for 30 minutes before baking.
