Ingredients

• 1 piece Pre-made pie crust
• 6 slices Bacon
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Milk
• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 0.5 cup Onion (optional, finely chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, chopped for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges if needed. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet, place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease, and crumble it into small pieces once cool.

Step 4

If using onions, sauté them in the same skillet with a small amount of the reserved bacon grease until they are soft and translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Sprinkle the crumbled bacon, cheddar cheese, and sautéed onions (if using) evenly into the prepared pie crust.

Step 6

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until thoroughly combined.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture over the bacon, cheese, and onions in the pie crust, ensuring it spreads evenly.

Step 8

Carefully transfer the pie dish to the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
