Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup cooked bacon, chopped
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 cup goat cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or round baking pan with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp and golden brown. Remove bacon and place on paper towels to drain excess grease. Once cooled, chop into small pieces.
- In the same skillet with remaining bacon fat, sauté sliced mushrooms until they release their moisture and become golden brown, approximately 5-6 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs thoroughly until well combined and slightly frothy. Add milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Spread chopped bacon and sautéed mushrooms evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie dish. Sprinkle crumbled goat cheese over the bacon and mushroom layer.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture over the bacon, mushroom, and goat cheese, ensuring even distribution. Gently shake the dish to help ingredients settle.
- Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown. To check doneness, insert a knife near the center - it should come out clean.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes. This allows the quiche to set and makes it easier to slice.
- Cut into 6 equal wedges and serve warm. Can be stored in refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in oven or microwave.
Tips
- Bacon Selection: For the best flavor, choose thick-cut bacon. It adds a nice crunch and a rich taste to your quiche.
- Mushroom Variety: While button mushrooms work great, feel free to experiment with other varieties like cremini or shiitake for a deeper flavor profile.
- Egg Whisking: Make sure to whisk the eggs thoroughly until frothy; this incorporates air, making your quiche light and fluffy.
- Cheese Options: If you’re not a fan of goat cheese, you can substitute it with feta or cheddar for a different flavor twist.
- Cooling Time: Don’t skip the cooling step after baking! Allowing the quiche to rest for a few minutes makes slicing easier and improves the texture.
- Storage: This quiche can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat it in the oven for the best results, as it helps maintain its texture.
- Add Veggies: Feel free to add your favorite veggies like spinach or bell peppers for an extra nutritional boost and a pop of color.
