Ingredients
- 9- inch Pie Crust: Store-bought or homemade.
- 6 Large Eggs: These form the liquid base for the custard.
- 1 Cup Milk: Adds creaminess to the filling.
- 1 Cup Cheese: A combination of cheddar and Swiss works beautifully.
- 1 Cup Cooked Bacon: Crumbled into bite-sized pieces.
- 1/2 Cup Green Onions: Chopped for added flavor.
- Salt & Pepper: To taste.
Instructions
- Prepare the Pie Crust: If using a store-bought pie crust, roll it out and place it into a 9-inch pie pan. If you prefer homemade, prepare your crust as needed, then fit it into the pan.
- Cook the Bacon: In a skillet, cook your bacon over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels and crumble into small pieces once cooled.
- Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, and shredded cheese until evenly combined.
- Pour and Bake: Pour the filling mixture into the prepared pie crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the quiche is set and the top is golden.
- Cool: Once done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve: Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
