Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your quiche will cook evenly and thoroughly.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the 6 large eggs and whisk them until they are well combined. You want the yolks and whites to be fully blended.
- Add 1 cup of milk to the eggs and whisk together until the mixture is smooth. This will create a creamy base for your quiche.
- Stir in 1 cup of crumbled, cooked bacon, making sure to distribute it evenly throughout the egg mixture.
- Add 1 cup of shredded cheese to the bowl. You can use any cheese you prefer, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend. Mix well.
- In a skillet over medium heat, sauté 1/2 cup of chopped onion until they are translucent and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. This will enhance their flavor.
- Once the onions are cooked, add them to the egg mixture and stir until all ingredients are well combined.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Be sure to mix well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
- Grease a 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Pour the egg and bacon mixture into the prepared pie dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and lightly golden on top.
- Once cooked, remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your crustless bacon cheese quiche!
Tips
- Customize Your Cheese: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese! Cheddar, Swiss, or a blend can add unique flavors to your quiche.
- Add Veggies: Want to sneak in some veggies? Spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms can be sautéed with the onions for added nutrition and flavor.
- Make Ahead: This quiche can be made ahead of time! Prepare it the night before and simply pop it in the oven when you’re ready to serve.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so check your quiche a few minutes before the suggested cooking time. It’s done when the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
- Serve with a Side: Pair your quiche with a fresh salad or some fruit for a complete meal that’s sure to impress!
