Ingredients for Bacon Cheddar Quiche
For this recipe, you just need a few ingredients and it is one of those recipes you will make again and again. I used pork bacon for this recipe, but you can make it with turkey bacon if you like.
Eggs - I use large Grade A eggs for this recipe.
Bacon - I love using traditional bacon, but you can use turkey bacon too if you like. Be sure to use crisp bacon for best results. Crumble bacon into small pieces.
Cheese - Medium Cheddar cheese is my favorite, but you can use Sharp Cheddar, Monterey Jack or a mixture of both to change it up.
Milk - I like using 2% milk for this recipe. Whole milk or heavy cream works great too!
pie crust - you can use a store-bought pie crust or a homemade pie crust. Personally, I like to use a pre-made crust.

Hello Friends! Did you have a wonderful weekend? Ours was filled with friends and football. Recently, I updated my simple quiche recipe, so I am sharing it with you today. It not only makes a great breakfast or brunch idea, but you can also serve it for dinner. The best part is that it can be made ahead which makes it a great make-ahead breakfast recipe.
I like to use a frozen pie crust because they taste just as good as homemade, but it saves you so much time.
How to Make Bacon Cheese Quiche
The full recipe instructions for crumbl copycat recipe are in the recipe card, below but here is a step by step overview of the recipe
The First thing is to set your oven temperature. Heat oven to 350° f.
Use a fork to poke holes in the bottom of the crust and if the pie shell is uncooked, bake it for 10 minutes. This will avoid a soggy bottom crust.
Sprinkle bacon and cheese over the bottom of the crust.

You can also add ham or spinach to the batter.
Beat eggs in a medium bowl and add to quiche.

Place the pie pan on a baking sheet and back as directed. In no time at all, you will have a wonderful savory breakfast quiche.

Bacon Egg Quiche Ingredients
Eggs - I use large Grade A eggs for this recipe.

Cheese - Medium Cheddar is my favorite, but you can use Sharp Cheddar, Monterey Jack or a mixture of both to change it up.

Storage and Serving Suggestions
Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
You can also freeze leftover quiche in an airtight container.
You can add a few green onions for color before baking, if desired.
IF your oven runs hot, you can use tin foil to protect the edges of the crust during the last 5-10 minutes of baking.
You can double the recipe and make two quiches at a time. Cooking time will likely be 40-45 minutes.

Made this for brunch and my family (including my child who’s super picky) could not stop raving about how delicious it was! Followed the recipe but doubled it and left out the nutmeg as I don’t have any on hand. Thanks for sharing!!
Raquel
Thanks for commenting Niki. Glad you enjoyed it and great that you doubled the recipe! 🙂

Hi! I made this recipe, doubled it, and enjoyed it with my four-year-old (who usually requires bartering to eat his protein). I am freezing the second quiche to have on hand for a rainy day. What would you recommend for the reheating process?
Raquel
Such a great idea to freeze one.To reheat, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place quiche on a baking sheet and cover with foil.
Heat for 30-35 minutes, or until the inside of quiche is 165 degrees F.
Remove quiche from the oven and let it sit for 15 minutes without removing the foil.
Andrea
If freezing, would you suggest baking first? Or place in freezer after pouring into crust?
Raquel
I would freeze after baking for best results, then reheat to serve.
Ellen
You poke holes in the crust before putting the filling in the crust? I just wanted to make sure that’s correct?
Raquel
Yes, just small holes with a fork and it should be fine.
Cindy
@Raquel, do we need to pre bake the crust?
Raquel
Yes pre-bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees f.
Sharon
Can you make ahead of time and bake the next day?
Raquel
Absolutely. Cover and keep refrigerated.
Kim
So yummy and easy to make!😋
Paula
Can I bake it ahead and freeze? If yes, what is the best way to reheat? Thank you!
Raquel
Yes you can. Be sure to wrap up well with plastic wrap and foil.
Sharon Lee
Do you use a deep dish pie crust?
Raquel
No I use a standard sized pie crust.
Jamie
Hi! Can you make this without a crust? And if so, do any steps need to change (other than excluding the crust?)
Raquel
Yes, it would be more of a frittata but you could do it. It would take likely 10 - 15 minutes. Bake until eggs are completely set.
