Bacon and Cheddar Quiche

Quiche is a delicious, hearty breakfast or a light dinner.  I love how versatile it is!  Just add whatever you have around: broccoli, peppers, bacon, sausage.  The possibilities are endless.  This one is basic, made with two items I always have on hand: bacon and cheddar cheese.

Here's what you'll need:
unbaked 9 inch pie crust
5 slices bacon
2 c cheddar cheese, grated (I used extra sharp)
4 eggs
1 c heavy cream
1 c milk (OR substitute 2 c half-n-half for the milk AND the cream)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Preheat oven to 425.

Chop bacon.  Cook in a heavy skillet until crisp.  Drain on paper towels.

Sprinkle bacon in the bottom of the pie crust.  Top with the cheese.  Set aside.

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, milk and seasonings.

Pour egg mixture over the cheese and bacon in the pie shell.

Bake at 425 for 15 minutes.  Reduce oven to 325.  Bake for another 30 minutes or so, until the center is set.

Let set 10 minutes before cutting.  This will let the cheese cool down and hold it's shape.

Enjoy!
