Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) . Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or baking pan with cooking spray or butter.
Step 2: Cook the Bacon
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from the pan, drain on paper towels, and crumble into small pieces. Set aside.
Step 3: Prepare the Egg Mixture
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using) until smooth and well combined.
Step 4: Assemble the Quiche
- Spread the crumbled bacon evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie dish.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the bacon. If using diced onions or bell peppers, scatter them over the cheese.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the toppings, ensuring everything is submerged.
Step 5: Bake
- Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes , or until the quiche is set in the center and golden brown on top. To check doneness, insert a knife into the center—it should come out clean.
Step 6: Cool & Serve
- Let the quiche cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm with hot sauce or sour cream on the side.
Why This Recipe Works
- Eggs as the Base : Eggs provide a light, fluffy texture while holding all the ingredients together.
- Cheese Magic : Melty cheese adds richness and ties the flavors together.
- Bacon Flavor Boost : Crispy bacon brings smoky, savory goodness to every bite.
Variations to Try
- Vegetarian Option : Skip the bacon and add sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini.
- Spicy Twist : Add diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes for heat.
- Herbaceous Upgrade : Stir in fresh herbs like chives, thyme, or dill for added freshness.
- Breakfast Meat Swap : Use cooked sausage, ham, or prosciutto instead of bacon.
- Dairy-Free Version : Substitute dairy-free cheese and almond milk for a vegan-friendly option.
Tips for Success
- Don’t Overmix : Whisk the eggs just until combined to avoid dense quiche.
- Even Distribution : Make sure the bacon, cheese, and veggies are evenly spread for consistent flavor in every bite.
- Storage : Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days; reheat slices in the microwave or oven.
Serving Suggestions
- Brunch Staple : Pair with fresh fruit, a side salad, or avocado toast for a complete meal.
- Romantic Touch : Plate individually with a sprinkle of fresh herbs and a dollop of sour cream for elegance.
- Party Platter : Cut into small wedges and serve as an appetizer at gatherings.
