Bacon Cheese Quiche
Though quiche seems to be most popular as a brunch meal, we really like to have it for dinner.
Quiches are so easy to change just by choosing different filling ingredients.
What Is Quiche?
Quiche (pronounced ‘keesh’) is basically a savory egg pie, with cheese, maybe some chopped vegetables, and sometimes cooked meat, mixed in.
Quiches are usually baked in a crust (just a plain pie crust), but can also be made crustless.
You can take quiches to potlucks, or set them out at a party because they taste great at room temperature!
Some Tips For a Great Quiche
• Use enough milk to make the egg custard less heavy. Usually about 1 cup to 6 eggs.
• Grate your own cheese to avoid a grainy texture (Bagged shredded cheese is coated in potato starch to keep it from clumping).
• Pre-bake the pie crust to prevent it from getting soggy.
• If the pie crust edges are browning too fast, carefully cover them with foil strips for the remainder of baking time.
The steps to make a fabulous quiche recipe are easy. Here they are:
After baking your quiche, just let it rest for 10 minutes before you slice and serve it.
No garnishes are needed, but if you want to top your slice of quiche with some creme fraiche or sour creme, that might be nice.
This Bacon Cheese Quiche recipe is so delicious because there is something tasty in every bite!
