Ingredients

• 1 pre-made or homemade (9-inch) pie crust
• 6 slices bacon
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or Gruyere)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped green onions (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Roll out the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges if necessary and crimp the edges for a decorative finish. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.

Step 3

Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then crumble into small pieces once cooled.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Stir in the shredded cheese, salt, black pepper, crumbled bacon, and green onions (if using).

Step 6

Pour the filling mixture into the prepared pie crust, ensuring the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 7

Place the quiche on the center oven rack and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. To check doneness, insert a knife or toothpick into the center—it should come out clean.

Step 8

Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
