Ingredients
- 1 pie crust
- 6 bacon slices raw
- 2 cups broccoli chopped
- 5 eggs at room temperature
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 1 cup cheddar cheese grated
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cracked pepper
Instructions
- Allow the pre-made crust to come to room temperature per the thawing instructions provided on the pie-crust packaging.
- Set the oven to pre-heat at 350° F.
- Prep the pie-crust with vent holes by poking with a fork, set aside or pre-bake if the pie-crust packaging instructions says to do so.
- In a large skillet, cook the bacon. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel lined plate.
- Add the chopped broccoli florets to the same skillet and cook on medium heat until the broccoli starts to soften, for around five minutes.
- In a large bowl, add the whipping cream and eggs. Whisk until well combined.
- Add the cooked bacon and broccoli to the pie crust.
- Pour the egg mixture over the bacon and broccoli. Add the salt and black pepper. Then sprinkle the cheese over the top.
- Use a fork or small spatula to gentle mix the eggs and cheese with the other ingredients.
- Place the quiche in the preheated oven on the middle rack. Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the egg mixture has set.
- Remove the quiche from the oven and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing. The quiche can be served either hot or cold.
