A savory, rich quiche made with crispy bacon, melty cheese, and a creamy egg custard baked in a flaky pie crust. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light lunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups half-and-half or heavy cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and crimp the edges. Prick the bottom with a fork and pre-bake for 7 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  3. In a skillet, sauté the chopped onions until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Let cool.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.
  5. Layer the cooked bacon, sautéed onions, and cheeses evenly into the pie crust.
  6. Pour the egg mixture over the filling.
  7. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
  8. Let the quiche cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Can be made ahead and served cold or reheated.
  • Substitute or mix in other cheeses like Gruyère or mozzarella for different flavors.
  • Add spinach, mushrooms, or tomatoes for extra vegetables.
