Recipe Ingredients:
- 1 (9 inch) deep dish frozen pie crust
- 1 (3 ounce) can bacon bits
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 5 ounces shredded Swiss cheese
- 3 ounces grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup half-and-half cream
How To Make Bacon Quiche Recipe?
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C/400°F.
- Prepare the crust: Place the unthawed pie crust into a pie pan and set it on a baking sheet for stability.
- Mix the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the bacon bits, chopped onion, shredded Swiss cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese. Pour this mixture evenly into the crust.
- Prepare the egg mixture: In another bowl, whisk the eggs and half-and-half (single cream). Pour the egg mixture over the cheese mixture, ensuring an even distribution.
- Bake the quiche: Place the baking sheet with the pie pan in the oven. Bake for 15 minutes at 200°C/400°F. Then reduce the oven temperature to 175°C/350°F and continue baking for an additional 35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and set.
- Cool and serve: Allow the quiche to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
Recipe Tips :
- Use a deep dish crust: Make sure to use a deep dish pie crust to hold all the filling without spilling over. A shallow crust may cause a mess in your oven.
- Preheat the oven properly: Always let your oven reach the right temperature before baking. This ensures the quiche cooks evenly and the crust becomes perfectly golden.
- Sauté the onions: For extra flavor and a softer texture, sauté the chopped onions lightly before adding them to the filling. This step adds a sweet, caramelized taste.
- Don’t overmix the eggs: Whisk the eggs and cream until just combined. Overmixing can create too much air, which affects the texture of the quiche.
- Check for doneness: Insert a knife or toothpick into the center of the quiche. If it comes out clean, it’s ready. If not, bake for a few extra minutes to ensure the filling is fully set.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: Let the leftover bacon quiche cool to room temperature. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Cool the quiche completely, then wrap it tightly in foil or plastic wrap and place it in a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 2 months.
- Reheat: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Place the quiche slice in the skillet, cover with a lid, and heat for 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally for even warming.
