Equipment
- 1 - 9-inch deep dish store-bought crust
Ingredients
- 1 - 9-inch deep dish frozen pie crust
- 1 - 3 ounce can of Bacon Bits
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 5 - ounces shredded swiss cheese
- 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup half and half
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375℉
- Place the frozen pie crust on a baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes, or until it turns a light golden brown. Prebaking the pie crust helps prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Whisk together half and half and cornstarch until fully blended. Add the lightly beaten eggs and whisk until well combined.
- Leaving the pie crust on the baking sheet, start layering the cheeses, onions, and the bacon.
- Take your egg mixture and pour over the layers in the pie crust.
- Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes. Every oven bakes differently. So it is important to watch what is baking. I always check my quiche at 30 minutes. If the crust or top of the quiche looks like it is browning too quickly, drape a piece of tin foil over the pie. This will reflect heat and slow down the browning process. To check if the quiche is done, insert a knife in the center. If it comes out clean, it is done. If the center jiggles and doesn't look set, continue to cook it for a bit longer.
- Remove quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Another great thing about a quiche is it is delicious served watm or at room temperature making it a great option for entertaining.
