Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Breakfast

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 large eggs
2/3 cup whole milk
¼ cup half-and-half
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
Pinch ground nutmeg (optional)
1 1/2 cups mix-ins of choice: See below for suggestions and ingredient notes for a broccoli bacon version
2/3 cup grated Gruyère cheese (or swap fontina, sharp cheddar, or smoked mozzarella)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Cooked (crumbled bacon)
Chopped and sautéed broccoli
Caramelized onions
Cubed leftover ham
Roasted vegetables (roughly chopped)

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a deep 9-inch pie dish with nonstick spray.
  • Prepare any mix-ins (see recipe notes for a broccoli bacon version and the blog post above for more suggestions).
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, half-and-half, salt, pepper, mustard, and nutmeg.
  • Scatter the mix-ins evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie dish.
  • Sprinkle the cheese on top.
  • Carefully pour the egg mixture into the dish. Place the dish on a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle the chives over the top.
  • Bake the quiche on the baking sheet until the center is set, about 35 minutes. It should look puffed and golden at the edges, and when a thin, sharp knife is inserted in the center, the center should be cooked through without visible liquid. Let cool a few minutes. Cut into big wedges. Enjoy warm.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables to add color, texture, and flavor to your quiche. Some good options include broccoli, zucchini, mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers.
  • Cook the vegetables until they are tender but still have a little bit of crunch. This will help them to retain their nutrients and flavor.
  • Use a good quality bacon. Thick-cut bacon will give your quiche a more robust flavor.
  • Don't overcook the quiche. The center should be just set, but not dry. A good way to check if the quiche is done is to insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the quiche is done.
  • Let the quiche cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to cut.

Conclusion:

Bacon vegetable quiche is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With its creamy filling, flaky crust, and savory bacon, this quiche is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
