👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat Oven
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a round baking dish or pie plate. - Whisk the Eggs
In a mixing bowl, beat together eggs, cream (or milk), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined. - Assemble the Quiche
- Evenly distribute the bacon in the bottom of the dish.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the bacon.
- Add any optional veggies.
- Pour the egg mixture over everything.
- Bake to Perfection
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the quiche is set and golden on top.
Optional: Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end to add a slight crisp—keep a close eye to prevent burning. - Cool & Serve
Let the quiche rest for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped parsley or more crumbled bacon if you’d like. Pair with a side salad, fresh fruit, or a slice of crusty bread.
🌟 Helpful Tips
- Use Fresh Cheese: Grating your own cheese gives a creamier melt compared to pre-shredded options.
- Switch Up the Protein: Substitute bacon with sausage, diced ham, or turkey bacon.
- Add More Veggies: Mushrooms, kale, or roasted zucchini all make great additions.
- Store Leftovers: Keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
