Ingredients

Units Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup whole milk

Mix-Ins

  • 8 strips of bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 1/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2/3 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep Pie Pan
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-inch pie pan generously with butter to prevent sticking and to add flavor to your quiche.
  2. Prepare the Egg Mixture
    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy whipping cream, and whole milk. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy without any streaks of egg yolk or whites.
  3. Add the Fillings
    Add in the chopped bacon, green onions, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix everything well to evenly combine the flavors throughout the egg mixture.
  4. Pour and Set Water Bath
    Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pie pan. Create a water bath by placing a rimmed baking sheet on the center oven rack. Carefully place the pie pan in the center of the baking sheet. Gradually pour hot water into the baking sheet to surround the pie pan (about halfway up the side). This step ensures gentle and even baking.
  5. Bake the Quiche
    Bake the quiche for about 40-50 minutes, or until the center is set and no longer jiggles when the pan is slightly moved.
  6. Cool and Serve
    Carefully remove the quiche from the oven and water bath. Allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes to set before slicing into wedge-shaped servings. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!

Notes

  • For added flavor, you can substitute sharp cheddar with Gruyère or Monterey Jack cheese.
  • Ensure your bacon is well-drained after cooking to avoid excess grease in the quiche.
  • The water bath prevents the quiche from puffing up too much and ensures a creamy texture.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
  • If you prefer a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or using spicy breakfast sausage instead of bacon.
