Bacon and Cheese Quiche Recipe
This Bacon and Cheese Quiche Recipe is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dinner. It’s creamy, cheesy, and full of rich flavor.
Ingredients
- 6 slices of bacon chopped
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk or cream
- 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar or mozzarella
- 1 ready-made pie crust
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ cup chopped onion optional
Instructions
Cook the Bacon
- Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add chopped bacon pieces and cook until crispy. Remove and place them on paper towels to drain extra oil.
Prepare the Pie Crust
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the ready-made pie crust in a pie dish. Press it gently so it fits well. You can use a fork to make small holes in the bottom. This helps it bake evenly.
Make the Egg Mixture
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs. Add milk, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth. You can also add onions or herbs if you like extra flavor.
Add Bacon and Cheese
- Sprinkle the cooked bacon evenly over the crust. Then, add shredded cheese on top. Pour the egg mixture slowly over them. Make sure everything is covered well.
Bake the Quiche
- Place the pie dish in the oven. Bake for about 35–40 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown. Check by inserting a knife in the center—it should come out clean.
Cool and Serve
- Let the quiche cool for 5–10 minutes before cutting. Serve warm or cold. It tastes great either way.
Notes
- Use fresh eggs for a creamy texture.
- Don’t overfill the crust; it can spill while baking.
- Add spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers for more flavor.
- Let it cool before slicing to keep it firm.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
