Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 6 large eggs Provides structure and richness; perfect for a fluffy texture.
  • 1 cup heavy cream Adds a creamy richness that enhances the quiche's flavor.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Contributes a deeply savory flavor and gooey texture; try different cheeses for a twist.
  • 0.5 cup cooked bacon, crumbled Gives a smoky flavor and protein kick; swap with mushrooms or plant-based bacon for vegetarian option.
  • 0.5 cup milk Helps achieve a creamy consistency; for a lighter choice, use skim or almond milk.
  • salt and pepper Elevates the overall flavor; adjust to your personal taste preference.
For Baking
  • butter or cooking spray Greasing the dish to prevent sticking is essential; olive oil spray can be used for a dairy-free variation.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your ingredients and equipment, like a large mixing bowl and a 9-inch pie dish.

  3. Fold in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and ½ cup of crumbled, cooked bacon gently into the egg mixture.
  4. Sprinkle salt and pepper into the mixture according to your taste preference, then give it a final whisk.
  5. Grease your 9-inch pie dish generously with butter or cooking spray.
  6. Carefully pour the egg and cheese mixture into your prepared pie dish, spreading it evenly.
  7. Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 30–35 minutes until the top is golden brown.
  8. Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
