What could make a quiche which is made from eggs, better? Bacon, of course. Also, a little green chilies and green onion and 2 different cheeses make it great as well. Enjoy it for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
1 refrigerated pie crust, at room temperature
8 strips bacon
4 oz. can diced green chilies, drained
4 green onions, chopped
1 c. shredded Monterey Jack cheese ( 4 oz.)
1 c. shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (4 oz.)
1 1/4 c. half and half
4 eggs
1/2 t. salt
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Wash green onions; cut off and discard ends; dice.
Unfold 1 crust; using wet fingertips, press together any tears. Press crust into 9 inch deep-dish pie plate. Press aluminum foil over crust to hold shape. Bake 5 minutes. Remove from oven; remove foil. Reduce temperature to 400 degrees.
Fry bacon in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat until brown and crisp. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain. When cooled, crumble bacon.
Sprinkle bacon, green chilies and green onion over the crust. Combine cheeses together; sprinkle over green onion.
Beat half and half, eggs and salt in medium bowl to blend; pour half and half mixture on the crust.
Bake quiche about 45 minutes, until a knife inserted into center comes out clean.
Remove from oven; let stand about 5 minutes.
Cut quiche into wedges. Serve.
