Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
- 6 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Swiss)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Crust: Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently against the sides. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
- Cook the Bacon: In a skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from heat, crumble, and set aside.
- Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
- Assemble the Quiche: Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly into the pie crust. Pour the egg mixture over the bacon, then top with shredded cheese and green onions if using.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the quiche is set and lightly golden on top.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
