Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cooked bacon, chopped
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/2 cup diced tomato
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or round baking pan with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crisp and golden brown. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess grease.
- In the same skillet, sauté the diced onions in the remaining bacon fat until they become translucent and slightly caramelized, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly until well beaten and slightly frothy. Add milk and whisk to combine.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, cooked bacon pieces, sautéed onions, and diced tomatoes into the egg mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared pie dish, ensuring ingredients are distributed uniformly.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown. The quiche should be slightly puffy and not liquid when gently shaken.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes. This allows the quiche to set and makes it easier to slice.
- Slice into 6 equal wedges and serve warm. Optional: Garnish with additional chopped bacon or fresh herbs if desired.
Tips
- Use room temperature eggs for a smoother, more consistent mixture that blends more easily.
- Make sure to drain the bacon thoroughly to prevent excess grease from making the quiche soggy.
- For extra flavor, consider using a mix of cheeses like sharp cheddar and monterey jack.
- Don't overmix the egg mixture - whisk just until ingredients are combined to keep the texture light and fluffy.
- Check the quiche around the 25-minute mark. Every oven is slightly different, so watch for that golden-brown top and set center.
- Let the quiche rest for at least 5 minutes after baking to help it set and make slicing easier.
- This quiche reheats beautifully - store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a variation, try adding diced bell peppers or swap bacon for cooked ground beef to change up the flavor profile.
