Bacon, Sharp Cheddar, and Chive Quiche

It was a breakfast-for-dinner kind of night so I decided to make a bacon, sharp cheddar, and chive quiche. I grabbed a frozen pie crust from the freezer, some eggs, milk, bacon, sharp cheddar, and fresh chives from the fridge. Isn’t it great when you can find all the ingredients for a delicious meal in your pantry/fridge? I love that! My kids, husband, and I loved this quiche! It was so light and fluffy with great flavor from the bacon, cheese, and chives and the flaky crust was tasty.

Bacon, Sharp Cheddar, and Chive Quiche

Ingredients:

• 1 frozen pie crust
• 5 slices of lean bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 5 eggs
• 1½ cup whole milk
• Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
• 1 cup sharp cheddar, shredded
• 1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped

How to Make a Bacon, Sharp Cheddar, and Chive Quiche

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Press tin foil on top of the frozen pie crust and place it into the oven to bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake for 3-5 minutes. Remove from the oven. Place the tin foil on the bottom of a baking sheet. Place the pie crust on top.

Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp and cooked. Place on a paper towel to drain grease then cut into crumbles.

Combine the eggs, milk, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste, together in a bowl and whisk until very well combined.

Sprinkle most of the crumbled bacon in the bottom of the pie crust followed by most of the cheese and chives. Add the well-whisked egg mixture. Sprinkle the remaining bacon, cheese, and chives on top.

Carefully place on a baking sheet and into the oven to bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is set and not wiggly and the eggs are cooked through. Don’t overcook!
