Homestyle Bacon and Cheese Quiche
A delicious, savory quiche featuring a buttery pie crust filled with crispy bacon, cheddar cheese, and a rich, creamy egg mixture. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner, this quiche offers a satisfying balance of textures and flavors with a hint of nutmeg and fresh parsley.
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch pie crust homemade or store-bought
- 8 slices bacon chopped
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and crimp the edges if using homemade dough.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook chopped bacon until crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Sprinkle half of the cheese over the pie crust, layer with bacon. In a bowl, whisk eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Pour over the bacon and cheese. Top with remaining cheese and optional parsley.
- Bake in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden brown and the center is set. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
For a lighter option, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream and use reduced-fat cheese.
