Bacon and Cheese Quiche – A Savory Classic That Never Fails
Few dishes walk the line between comfort food and elegant brunch fare quite like a Bacon and Cheese Quiche. This timeless recipe combines the smoky richness of bacon with the creamy, melty goodness of cheese—all cradled in a flaky, buttery crust. Whether you’re planning a weekend brunch, a light lunch, or a make-ahead breakfast, this quiche fits the bill beautifully.
Why We Love It
Quiche is endlessly adaptable, but the bacon and cheese combination is a tried-and-true favorite. It’s hearty without being heavy, rich but not overwhelming. Best of all, it’s incredibly easy to make, especially if you use a pre-made crust—though a homemade crust takes it to the next level.
Ingredients
1 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
6 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional for extra flavor)
4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk or half-and-half
1/4 cup chopped green onions (or regular onion, finely diced)
Salt and pepper, to taste
A pinch of ground nutmeg (optional but adds depth)
Instructions
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Crust
If using a store-bought crust, place it into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges. Pre-bake for 7–8 minutes to prevent a soggy bottom. Let it cool slightly.
Layer the Fillings
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over the bottom of the crust. Top with shredded cheese and green onions.
Mix the Custard
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or half-and-half, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.
Assemble and Bake
Pour the egg mixture slowly over the bacon and cheese. Place the quiche in the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
