Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 9-inch unbaked pie crust
- 6 slices bacon, chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced optional
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges. Set aside.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Drain on paper towels, then crumble or chop into small pieces.
- Sprinkle the cooked bacon, cheddar cheese, and Swiss cheese evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until smooth.
- Pour the egg mixture over the bacon and cheese in the pie crust. Sprinkle with green onions if using.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Let the quiche cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For best results, use a deep-dish pie crust and avoid overfilling to prevent spillover during baking.
