Comfort comes in many forms, and today, it arrives in the warmth of a freshly baked quiche, its golden crust cradling a rich, savory filling that whispers of home.

Ingredients

  • Pie crust – 1 (9-inch)
  • Eggs – 4 large
  • Heavy cream – 1 cup

  • Black pepper – ¼ tsp.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently against the bottom and sides. Trim any excess dough from the edges with a knife or scissors for a neat finish.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until smooth. Tip: For a fluffier quiche, let the mixture sit for a minute after whisking to allow the eggs to fully incorporate air.
  4. Stir in the cooked bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper into the egg mixture. Tip: Reserve a small handful of cheese to sprinkle on top before baking for a golden, cheesy crust.
  5. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the reserved cheese on top.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. Tip: To check for doneness, insert a knife near the center; if it comes out clean, the quiche is ready.

  • Eggs – 4 large
  • Heavy cream – 1 cup
  • Bacon – 6 slices, cooked and crumbled
  • Feta cheese – 1/2 cup, crumbled
  • Salt – 1/4 tsp
  • Black pepper – 1/4 tsp

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures a consistent temperature for baking.
  2. Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, gently pressing it into the bottom and sides. Trim any excess crust for a neat edge.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until fully combined. Tip: For a lighter quiche, you can substitute half of the heavy cream with whole milk.
  4. Stir in the crumbled bacon, feta cheese, salt, and black pepper into the egg mixture. Mix gently to distribute the ingredients evenly.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. Tip: To check for doneness, insert a knife near the center; it should come out clean.
  7. Let the quiche cool for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the filling to set properly, making it easier to cut.

Delightfully, the quiche emerges from the oven with a golden crust and a creamy, savory filling. The salty bacon and tangy feta create a harmonious blend, perfect when served with a side of fresh greens or a dollop of sour cream for an extra layer of richness.
