Swiss and Bacon Quiche

The smoky taste of bacon and swiss cheese makes this quiche perfect for dinner or breakfast.  It also heats up well in the microwave, so grab a leftover slice for lunch.  I adapted the recipe from an old Southern Living recipe I found.  I added a few shortcuts to make it faster.

Here’s what you’ll need:

quiche-ingr

1 pie crust

4-6 slices of bacon, crumbled (I used 1/2 of this pack of pre-cooked)

1 cup Swiss cheese, grated

4 eggs

2 cups half & half

1/4 cup pamesan cheese

salt and pepper

dash of nutmeg

Put the pie crust in a pie plate.  Prick it with a fork and bake it at 400 degrees for 3 minutes.  Take it out and prick it again, then bake it for another 5 minutes. 

In a bowl, beat the eggs and then add the other ingredients, stirring to combine.  Pour into the pie shell.  Turn the oven down to 350 degrees and bake for 45 minutes.

This sounds so good! Have you tried it with any other type of cheese? I have over 40 packs, but no swiss wouldn’t you know.

That looks like a nice little pie. Swiss is delicious but I’ll have to pass on trying to make this. It still makes for a yummy presentation!
