Man-Approved Quiche
A hearty, savory quiche featuring crispy bacon, Swiss cheese, and a creamy filling, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or any casual gathering with bold flavors.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Lightly grease a 9 or 10-inch pie pan. Sprinkle bacon, cheese, and onion evenly over the bottom of the pie pan.
- Place remaining ingredients in a blender container.
- Cover and blend on high speed for 1 minute.
- Pour the blended mixture into the prepared pie pan.
- Bake until golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes.
- Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist on flavor, consider adding sautéed mushrooms or spinach to the bacon and cheese mixture. You can also substitute the Swiss cheese with cheddar or a blend of your favorites. If you're short on time, use pre-cooked bacon or diced ham instead. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before blending for a smoother consistency.
Serving Suggestions
Serve slices of the quiche warm or at room temperature. It pairs beautifully with a light salad or steamed vegetables, like English Peas In Sauce, for a balanced meal. For a heartier breakfast, consider serving it alongside fresh fruit or a side of crispy hash browns. This dish can also be great for brunch.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover quiche in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place slices in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds or warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until heated through. This keeps the crust crispy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this quiche ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the quiche a day in advance. Just assemble it, cover it tightly, and refrigerate before baking. When ready to serve, baking time may need to be adjusted if it's chilled. This Can Be Made Up And Stored In Refrigerator Overnight.
What can I use instead of milk?
If you need a dairy-free option, you can substitute the milk with almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk. Just ensure they are unsweetened varieties to avoid altering the flavor profile of the quiche.
How do I know when the quiche is done?
The quiche is done when the top is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. You can also lightly shake the pan; if the filling is set and doesn't jiggle, it's ready to take out of the oven.
