This isn’t going to be a novella telling you the history of baking before I give you a recipe. This is a great “breakfast for dinner” option, a brunch potluck dish for MOPS, or a weekly staple. Trust me when I say this basic quiche recipe is easy, customizable, and delicious!
Ingredients:
Deep Dish Pie Crust
6 Eggs
1 cup Milk
8 oz Cheddar Cheese
1 lb. bacon
Salt and Pepper, to taste
Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees
- Cook your bacon any way you prefer. Once cooled, chop into crumbles.
- Whisk your eggs, milk, and seasoning together.
- Add half of the cheese and bacon to the egg mixture.
- Pour into pie crusts. * See tip 3*
- Bake for 25 minutes.
- Sprinkle remaining cheese/bacon on top of the quiches and cook for another 20 minutes. You may want to use a pie shield or aluminum foil around the crust edges to prevent burning.
- Remove from oven. You can test for doneness by sticking a butter knife into the center of the quiche. If it comes out clean, you’re all done!
- Best served warm!
Tips:
- You can use almost any additions you want in this recipe. You can make your own pie crust, swap out meats, and/or add veggies.
- Since Deep Dish pie crusts commonly come in a pack of 2, I like to 1.5 this recipe to fill two crusts. We can gift one to a friend, eat it, or freeze it for another time.
- I like to cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and place the pie crusts on there before pouring in the egg mixture.
