Ingredients

• 1 piece Pre-made pie crust
• 6 large Eggs
• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 6 slices Canadian bacon
• 1.25 cups Shredded Gruyere cheese
• 2 tablespoons Chives
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 cups Hollandaise sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If your pie crust is frozen, thaw it according to package instructions.

Step 2

Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie or tart pan, fitting it snugly against the edges. Use a fork to poke holes in the bottom of the crust to prevent it from puffing up. Pre-bake the crust for 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Step 3

Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly brown the Canadian bacon slices for 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from heat and chop into bite-sized pieces.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, and black pepper until completely smooth and combined.

Step 5

Sprinkle the chopped Canadian bacon evenly into the pre-baked pie crust, followed by 1 cup of the shredded Gruyere cheese and 1 tablespoon of chopped chives.

Step 6

Pour the egg and cream mixture gently over the filling, ensuring it spreads evenly.

Step 7

Top the quiche with the remaining 1/4 cup of shredded Gruyere cheese.

Step 8

Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is just set and no longer jiggles when shaken. If the crust edges begin to brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.

Step 9

Once baked, remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Warm the hollandaise sauce according to package instructions or prepare your homemade version.

Step 11

Drizzle warm hollandaise sauce over each slice of quiche before serving, and garnish with the remaining chopped chives.
