Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
  • 5 slices bacon, cooked crispy and crumbled
  • 4 oz (113 g) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon (10 ml / 0.3 fl oz) salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon (20 ml / 0.7 fl oz) black pepper
  • For a lighter version, substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk. The texture will be slightly less rich but still delicious.
  • This quiche is perfect for meal prep. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat individual slices in the microwave or a toaster oven.
  • For a creamier texture, let your eggs and heavy cream come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before mixing.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie pan.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the large eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until smooth and well-combined.
  4. Stir in about three-quarters of the crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared pie pan.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining bacon, cheese, and green onions over the top.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted near the middle comes out clean.
  8. Let the quiche rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps it set up for perfect slices.
  9. Don't be afraid to customize!
  10. Add in a cup of sautéed vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers for extra flavor and nutrients.
