Easy Bacon & Broccoli Quiche

This quiche combines crisp bacon, lightly cooked broccoli, and sharp cheddar cheese in a graham cracker pie crust filled with a seasoned egg custard. The filling sets to a firm, moist texture with balanced saltiness and savory flavors. Baking fully eliminates any liquid center for easy slicing.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. In a large skillet, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove from skillet and drain on a paper towel.
  3. Add the broccoli to the same pan, and cook over medium until broccoli begins to soften (a few minutes)
  4. In a large bowl, combine the cooked bacon and broccoli, and then add the cheese. Mix roughly until well combined.
  5. Add the bacon, broccoli and cheese to the unbaked pie crust.
  6. Whisk together the milk, cream, eggs, salt and pepper.
  7. Pour over the bacon/broccoli cheese into the pie crust.
  8. Bake for 30 minutes, or until you can’t see liquid in the center of the quiche.
  9. Eat warm, or chill (covered) in the fridge for another day.
  10. Devour.

Notes

  • Grate your own cheese to avoid grainy texture from pre-shredded varieties.
  • Use thick-cut bacon for a more pronounced bacon flavor in the quiche.
  • Place the quiche on a baking sheet to catch any overflow of egg mixture during baking.
  • Cover pie crust edges with foil if they brown too quickly during baking.
  • Store the quiche covered in the refrigerator and consume within 3 to 4 days.
