Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
- 1 cup chopped broccoli
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or round baking pan with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the 6 large eggs and whisk them thoroughly until they are well beaten and slightly frothy.
- Pour 1 cup of milk into the whisked eggs and continue to mix until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Add the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped broccoli to the egg mixture. Stir gently to distribute ingredients evenly.
- Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, stirring to ensure the spices are well incorporated.
- Transfer the entire mixture into the prepared pie dish, making sure the ingredients are spread evenly across the surface.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the quiche cool for 5-10 minutes to allow it to set completely.
- Slice into 6 equal wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips
- For the fluffiest texture, make sure your eggs are at room temperature before whisking.
- Use high-quality, thick-cut bacon for maximum flavor and crispy texture.
- Don't overmix the ingredients - gently fold to keep the quiche light and airy.
- Check doneness by gently shaking the pan - the center should be just set with a slight wobble.
- Let the quiche rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to help it set and make slicing easier.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of fresh herbs like chives or parsley before serving.
- This quiche can be made ahead and reheated, making it perfect for meal prep or busy mornings.
- Use a non-stick pie dish or cast-iron skillet for the best results and easiest cleanup.
