1 cup 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Use a good quality cheddar for best results.

Method

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon, crumble, and set aside.
In the same skillet, drain excess fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Assembly

Scatter the crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the pie crust.
Pour the egg mixture over the bacon and cheese. If using, sprinkle with green onions.

Baking

Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the quiche is set and slightly golden on top.
Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

For best results, let the quiche cool slightly before slicing to help it hold together. Pair with a salad or fresh fruit for serving. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days, or frozen for 2-3 months.
