Cheddar Bacon Broccoli Quiche
People tend to think of quiche as difficult to prepare. The reality is that is is really quite easy, especially if you decide to use pre-made pie crust.
Ingredients
- 1 Pie crust , for single 9" one-crust pie
- 1/2 pound bacon, about 8 slices, fried crisp and crumbled
- 1/2 cup broccoli, fresh or frozen, finely chopped
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
- 1/3 cup onion, minced
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups light cream, or whipping cream for super richness
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 425°.
- Prepare pastry for one-crust pie (if using mix or homemade crust recipe) and bake as directed in 9" pie plate or quiche pan.
- Steam the broccoli for a few minutes to partially cook it.
- Layer the bacon, onion, broccoli and cheese evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Mix together the remaining ingredients. Beat well to really mix the eggs using a whisk or blend in the blender at low speed. Pour the eggs over the other ingredients in the pie crust shell. Bake at 425° for 15 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to 300°. Bake the quiche for 30 minutes longer, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the pie stand for 10 minutes to cool before cutting it.
