Broccoli, Bacon, Cheese Quiche image

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!

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pie crust (Unbaked for a 9-inch or 10-inch pie plate)
1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese (Shredded. Andrea used mild cheddar)
8 ounces powdered cheese sauce mix
1/4 cup white onion (chopped)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 lb bacon (chopped and cooked until almost crisp)
5 large eggs (Slightly beaten. Maybe 4 - some "large" eggs are larger than others)
2 1/2 cups half-and-half
1/8 teaspoon sage
1/8 teaspoon greek basil
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 2. Chop and steam broccoli for 5 minutes.
  • 3. Cook the bacon and remove just before it becomes crisp, set aside. Save 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease in the frying pan.
  • 4. Saute onions and garlic in the 2 tbs. of bacon grease until onions are soft and translucent.
  • 5. Slightly grease the pie pan and place the pie crust inside. Crimp and flute the edge of the crust so it is above the rim of the pie pan.
  • 6. Place pie pan on a large cookie sheet. Quiches are notorious for bubbling over and the cookie sheet will save you from having to scrape burned cheese off the bottom of your oven.
  • 7. In a medium bowl, mix cheese sauce, half-and-half, beaten eggs, salt, pepper and herbs, set aside.
  • 8. Spread the shredded cheddar on the bottom of the pie shell in a single layer.
  • 9. Add the bacon on top of the cheese in a single layer.
  • 10. Add the garlic and onion spreading it over the beacon as evenly as possible.
  • 11. Layer the broccoli on top.
  • 12. Pour the cheese/egg/milk mixture over the top until everything is well covered.
  • 13. Bake in the oven for 45 to 60 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • 14. Let it cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes and serve.

I've made this quiche several times now and it's always a hit! It's a great way to use up leftover broccoli and bacon, and it's always a crowd-pleaser.

This quiche was easy to make and turned out great! I used a pre-made pie crust to save time, and it still came out perfectly.

I'm not a huge fan of quiche, but this one was actually pretty good. The crust was flaky and the filling was flavorful. I would definitely make this again.

This quiche was good, but not great. The crust was a little too thick and the filling was a bit bland. I would probably try a different recipe next time.

This quiche was absolutely delicious! The flavors of the broccoli, bacon, and cheese were perfect together, and the crust was flaky and golden brown. I will definitely be making this again.
