:bacon: Bacon and Swiss Quiche is a delightful, savory dish that combines crispy bacon and creamy Swiss cheese for a rich, satisfying flavor. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a light dinner, this quiche will be a hit with everyone at the table. It's easy to make and provides a gourmet touch to any meal.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat. Cook them until they are crispy, flipping occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Once cooked, remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain the excess grease.
- After the bacon has cooled, crumble it into small pieces and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the 6 eggs and whisk them thoroughly until the yolks and whites are well combined.
- Add the heavy whipping cream and salt to the eggs, and whisk the mixture until it is smooth and uniform.
- Stir in the shredded swiss cheese and crumbled bacon into the egg mixture. Stir until everything is evenly distributed.
- If you want to use a crust, place it in a pie dish. Otherwise, you can make a crustless quiche by pouring the mixture directly into a greased pie dish.
- Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pie crust or greased pie dish.
- Smooth the top with a spatula to make sure the filling is evenly spread.
- Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Once baked, remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.
- Slice the quiche into wedges and serve warm.
Tips:
- Precook the bacon: Cooking the bacon until it's crispy ensures that it will stay flavorful and won't become soggy in the quiche.
- Shred the cheese: Freshly shredded cheese melts more evenly and has a better texture compared to pre-shredded cheese.
- Use room temperature ingredients: Allowing the eggs and cream to come to room temperature will help them blend more smoothly and cook more evenly.
- Blind bake the crust: If you're using a crust, blind bake it by pre-baking it for about 10 minutes to avoid a soggy bottom.
- Let it rest: Allow the quiche to rest for 10-15 minutes after baking. This will make it easier to slice and serve.
- Experiment with add-ins: Consider adding sautéed onions, mushrooms, or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.
:pencil: Wrapping up your Bacon and Swiss Quiche, you'll find this recipe to be both simple and satisfying. The harmony of rich cheese, savory bacon, and creamy filling is sure to delight your taste buds and impress your guests. Serve it hot or at room temperature with a fresh green salad or a side of fruit for a well-rounded, appetizing meal. Enjoy!
