Ingredients:
- 1 store-bought or homemade pie crust
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
- Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pie crust and place it into a 9-inch pie dish. Press it into the edges and trim any excess. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and prebake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden.
- While the crust is baking, cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy, then drain on paper towels and crumble. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth and well combined.
- Sprinkle the crumbled bacon and shredded cheese evenly over the prebaked crust.
- Pour the egg mixture over the bacon and cheese, making sure everything is evenly distributed.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is lightly golden. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives, if desired.
This Bacon and Cheese Quiche is delicious on its own or served with a simple green salad for a complete meal. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
