Instructions

1
|
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Move a rack to the lowest position in the oven.
2
|
Poke the bottom of the frozen pie shell several times with a fork, and transfer to a baking sheet.
3
|
Bake the pie shell on bottom rack of oven until the bottom is slightly puffed, 12-14 minutes. When done, remove from oven and set aside.
4
|
Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F.
5
|
Place two sheets of paper towels on a large dinner plate. Set aside.
6
|
Set a large skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange the bacon strips in the skillet. Fry the bacon until brown and crisp, about 6-8 minutes, flipping once.
7
|
Transfer the bacon strips to the paper-towel-lined dinner plate.
8
|
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
9
|
Using clean hands, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
10
|
Add the crumbled bacon and shredded cheeses to the egg and milk mixture. Fold with a rubber spatula until evenly distributed.
11
|
Pour the egg, bacon, and cheese mixture into the pie shell. Cover the edges of the pie shell with pie guards or strips of aluminum foil to avoid burning or over-browning the crust.
12
|
Bake the quiche on bottom rack of oven until the top is firm and golden brown, 45-55 minutes.
13
|
Check to see that quiche is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
14
|
Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes at room temperature before slicing and serving. Leftover quiche may be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Crisp Bacon Perfection 🥓
    Pre-cook bacon until just crisp, then drain on paper towels to remove excess grease before adding to the quiche filling.
  • Custard Consistency Secret 🥚
    Whisk eggs, milk, and cream thoroughly to ensure a silky, uniform custard that sets evenly and prevents dry or lumpy texture.
  • Cheese Blend Magic 🧀
    Mix cheddar and gouda cheeses for a complex, rich flavor profile that adds depth beyond a single cheese variety.
  • Blind Baking Technique 🥧
    Partially pre-bake the frozen pie shell at 375°F for 10 minutes to prevent a soggy bottom and ensure a crisp crust.
  • Temperature Control Mastery 🌡️
    Bake the quiche at 375°F and remove when the center is just slightly jiggly, as it will continue to set while cooling.
