Ingredients
- 6 slices Bacon
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 pre-made Pie crust
- 2 stalks Green onions (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Place the pre-made pie crust in a pie dish. Crimp the edges if needed, and set aside.
Step 3
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Once cool, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
Step 4
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until smooth. Stir in the cheese, salt, and pepper.
Step 5
If using green onions, finely chop them and add to the egg mixture.
Step 6
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over the pie crust.
Step 7
Pour the egg mixture over the bacon, spreading it out evenly.
Step 8
Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any potential drips. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the center of the quiche is set and the top is lightly golden.
Step 9
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Step 10
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Quick Bacon Quiche!
