Easy Quiche

Recipe Ingredients

It only takes a few simple ingredients to pull together our best quiche recipe.

Pre-Made Pie Crust: This easy quiche recipe is made even easier thanks to store-bought refrigerated pie crust!

Half-and-Half (or Milk): The half-and-half or whole milk used in this quiche recipe helps give the eggs that custardy texture we know and love from quiche filling.

Eggs: The eggs are the star of any quiche, serving as the base of the rich, creamy filling.

Crumbled Bacon: Crumbled bacon brings smoky flavor and a good bit of texture to this delicious quiche.

Cheeses: You’ll need either Swiss or cheddar and grated Parmesan for this simple quiche recipe. The ooey, gooey cheese makes the savory egg custard extra rich and yummy!

Other Ingredients: We love the taste of onion in this breakfast quiche recipe, but you can leave it out if desired. Salt and pepper highlight the flavor of all the other ingredients.

Cookware You’ll Need

We kept this quiche recipe easy, so you’ll just need a few basic things you probably already have on hand.

Skillet: Use a large skillet to fry crisp bacon pieces.

Pie Plate: We’ve tested making pies in every type of material, and a heat-resistant glass pie plate will help your crust brown the best and have the flakiest texture. Another option is a ceramic pie plate, because it acts similarly to glass.

Mixing Bowl and Whisk: A medium mixing bowl and a whisk are all you’ll need to mix together the custard base for this quiche.

Other Equipment: Cutting board and knife for slicing bacon.

How to Make Quiche

Here’s a quick preview of how to make our quiche recipe. For full step-by-step instructions, see our quick and easy recipe below.

1. Cook Bacon

Cook chopped bacon in medium skillet until perfectly crisp. Place bacon pieces on paper towels to soak up any excess grease while you prep your other ingredients.

2. Heat Oven and Place Crust

Heat oven to 350°F, and place the premade pie crust in your pie plate.

3. Mix Quiche Filling

Mix half-and-half, eggs, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl; set this mixture aside while you layer the bacon, cheeses, and onion in the crust-lined pie plate. Pour the egg mixture on top, and voilà!

4. Bake Quiche

Set your quiche in the oven, and let it bake until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes, and this next-level dish is ready to serve up big smiles!

Possible Variations

We’re big fans of this easy quiche recipe as is, but there are plenty of ways to customize it.

Swap Out the Meat: Try using 3/4 cup of chopped ham or sausage crumbles instead of bacon.

Fresh Toppings: Try a sprinkle of freshly chopped green onion for a sharp bite, or top your quiche with fresh tomatoes and basil. The flavor opportunities are endless!

Storing and Reheating

We’d be surprised if you have leftovers, but here are tips for storing extra quiche.

Reheating

• From the Fridge: Reheat individual foil-wrapped slices in a 325°F oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until at least 165°F in center.

• From the Freezer: Thaw overnight in refrigerator. Remove plastic wrap. For whole quiche, bake at 350°F for 20 to 25 minutes or until 165°F in center. For individual slices, thaw overnight on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Then, cover in foil, and bake at 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes or until at least 165°F in center.
