This traditional quiche is made with swiss and cheddar cheese. Adding the cheddar gives the recipe a little punch. Ingredients:
1 cup bacon bits |
1 cup (4 oz.) shredded cheddar cheese |
1 cup (4 oz.) shredded swiss cheese |
1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell (i prefer homemade but you may buy a prepared shell) |
2 eggs |
1 cup milk |
1 teaspoon onion powder or two tablespoons finely shredded onions |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
pinch of salt, optional |
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, for topping |
Directions:
1. Fry bacon in a medium frying pan until crisp (not burnt) and drain on a paper towel, set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine the cheeses and sprinkle half the mixture into the pie shell. Sprinkle on the bacon bits, then cover with the remaining cheese combination. In a small bowl, combine the eggs, milk, onion powder, pepper and salt, beat until thoroughly mixed. Pour over the cheese and sprinkle with the nutmeg.
3. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until firm and wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
4. Cool for 5 minutes before cutting into pie-shaped slices.
