Classic Bacon and Cheese Quiche

Print Recipe

A rich and savory quiche with a flaky crust, filled with smoky bacon, sautéed onions, and a blend of cheddar and Swiss cheeses, perfect for breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made pie crust (or homemade)
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream (or half-and-half)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and trim excess edges.
  2. In a skillet, cook bacon until crispy. Remove and crumble. Sauté diced onion in bacon drippings until soft.
  3. Sprinkle bacon, onion, cheddar, and Swiss cheese evenly over the crust.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, salt, and pepper. Pour egg mixture over the filling.
  5. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
  6. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For a lighter option, substitute milk for part of the cream.
  • You can prepare the crust and filling ingredients ahead of time, then assemble and bake fresh in the morning.
  • Try adding spinach or mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrition.
