Ingredients
Scale
- 1 – 9-inch frozen pre-made pie crust
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup Gruyere cheese, grated
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/4 cups evaporated milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon chives, snipped into little bits (reserve 2 strands to make the “X” on top of the quiche)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Place frozen pie crust on a baking pan (to avoid drips in your oven).
- Add cooked bacon to the bottom, then cover with grated Gruyere cheese.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, salt, pepper and nutmeg.
- Pour over cheese in pie crust.
- Sprinkle with chives.
- Bake in preheated oven a total of 30 minutes.
- Check at the 20 minute mark and if pie crust starts to brown more than you want it to brown, cover with a pie shield (see NOTE).
- When checking your pie crust at the 20 minute mark, add your chive “X” to the top of the quiche.
- Return to oven to finish baking.
- When golden brown and toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean, remove from oven.
- Allow to stand 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Don’t have a pie shield? Make a ring with aluminum foil! Tear a length of aluminum foil, fold it to the width of the edge of your pie. Then, twist the two ends together to make a ring. If your aluminum foil isn’t long enough to cover a 9-inch pie, twist together several lengths of foil until you’ve made it the desired length.
