BROCCOLI, BACON, CHEESE QUICHE
Another of my daughter Andrea's recipes which she is allowing me to publish. For Thanksgiving, she decided to make a quiche just to be a little different. There may be other recipes out there that are similar but I promise that this recipe came out of her own imagination and a bit of discussion with me around the kitchen counter. Tell you what, this turned out great!

Steps:

- 8. Spread the shredded cheddar on the bottom of the pie shell in a single layer.

EASY BACON AND CHEESE QUICHE
Original recipe calls for a 3 oz bottle of bacon bits rather than fresh-cooked bacon. This is what I have been looking for; I love quiche, but most have spinach or asparagus and DH does not like that part... *Note: It may look like the egg mixture will not fit in the crust after the cheese is added; I took out about 1/2 a cup of cheese, poured the egg in and then sprinkled the remaining cheese on top using a fork to mash the cheese down into the egg mixture. Filled the crust perfectly and it did not overflow.*

LOW FAT BISQUICK CRUST BACON AND CHEESE QUICHE
Amazingly, the quiche will form its own crust. I think this quiche tastes best when it's made the evening before and heated up the next morning. If you use a blender instead of a whisk, process the Bisquick, eggs, milk, pepper and salt for about 15 seconds; afterwards, by hand mix in the onion and garlic. Optional: Use ½ lb Canadian bacon in place of bacon and top with tomatoes. Or Swiss cheese instead of cheddar.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Fry bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crispy, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Let cool 10 minutes. Crumble and set aside.
- Roll out pastry crust into a circle using a lightly floured rolling pin. Line a 9-inch pie pan with crust. Prick holes into the base of the dough using a fork.
- Bake crust in the preheated oven on the middle rack for 15 minutes.
- Remove pastry crust from the oven. Brush crust with beaten egg. Return crust to the oven and bake 5 minutes more.

Tips:
- To ensure a flaky crust, use a food processor to combine the flour, butter, and salt. This will help to create a fine crumb texture.
- When rolling out the dough, be sure to keep it cold. This will help to prevent the dough from becoming tough.
- If you don't have a pie plate, you can use a 9-inch springform pan. Just be sure to grease the pan before adding the dough.
- Before baking, blind-bake the crust for 10-15 minutes. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
- When adding the filling to the crust, be sure to leave about 1 inch of space around the edges. This will allow the crust to rise during baking.
- Bake the quiche for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set. You can check to see if the quiche is done by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the quiche is done.
- Let the quiche cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. This will help to prevent the quiche from falling apart.
Conclusion:
Bacon and cheese quiche is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great dish to make ahead of time and reheat later. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect bacon and cheese quiche every time.
