Ingredients
- 8 Slices thick bacon, diced and cooked until crispy
- 10 whole large eggs
- 2 Cups Monterey Jack cheese, Shredded
- 1 ½ Cups half and half
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F
- Beat eggs in a medium bowl. Add half and half, salt, and pepper to eggs and whisk to combine. Add the bacon and the cheese and stir.
- spray a pie plate with cooking spray. Pour in the egg mixture
- Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes or until the eggs are set (the quiche will be firm and no longer jiggle)
- cool slightly before serving. See notes for freezing instructions.
Notes
- Half and half: This is a dairy product sold in the US made with milk and cream. If you can’t find it, use ¾ cup whole milk mixed with ¾ cup heavy cream for this recipe.
- Pie plate: Use a deep-dish pie plate and grease the bottom and sides really well. Don’t overfill it. Any extra filling can be baked separately in a greased ramekin.
- Cheese: Swiss, cheddar, or Gruyère can be used in place of the Monterey Jack.
- Adding vegetables: Cook vegetables first and drain well before adding them. Squeeze excess moisture out of cooked spinach so it doesn’t make the quiche watery.
- Rest before slicing: Let the quiche cool for about 10 minutes so the filling can firm up and the slices are easier to serve.
- Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or wrap individual slices tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
