Why I Love This Recipe

  • 🥚 One-bowl simplicity — everything mixes up in one dish
  • 🧀 Cheesy and indulgent while still feeling light
  • 🥓 Bacon brings smoky, salty depth to every bite
  • 🕒 Quick bake time makes it doable even on busy mornings
  • 🧩 Customizable – swap in veggies, herbs, or different cheeses

Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan with butter or nonstick spray.


2️⃣ Mix the Custard

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until fully combined. Season with salt and pepper.


3️⃣ Add the Fillings

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and cooked bacon. Feel free to add sautéed onions, spinach, or even chopped jalapeños for a twist.


4️⃣ Bake

Pour the mixture into the prepared dish. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is just set and the top turns golden brown.


5️⃣ Cool and Slice

Let the quiche cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. This helps the custard fully set and makes slicing cleaner.


Tips for Success

  • 💡 Use room temperature eggs for smoother mixing.
  • 🧈 Grease the pan well to prevent sticking.
  • 🕒 Don’t overbake – check at the 30-minute mark; the center should jiggle just slightly.
  • 🔁 Want to mix it up? Try adding Swiss cheese, caramelized onions, or chopped spinach.
