Ideal for a brunch or luncheon, this classic recipe highlights a delicious meal. Try serving a wedge with fresh fruit of the season and homemade muffins for a plate that will look as good as the food tastes! —Marcy Cella L'Anse, Michigan

6 Servings
Prep: 20 min. Bake: 45 min. + cooling

Ingredients

CRUST:
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter-flavored shortening
3 to 4 tablespoons cold water
FILLING:
12 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
4 eggs
2 cups half-and-half cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1-1/4 cups shredded Swiss cheese

Directions

Combine flour and salt in a bowl. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add water, a little at a time, until dough comes away from the bowl. Form dough into a ball. Divide in half.
On a lightly floured surface, roll half of dough to fit a 9-in. pie plate; transfer to pie plate. Trim and flute edges. Chill. Wrap remaining dough; chill or freeze for another use.
For filling, sprinkle crumbled bacon into the chilled pie crust. In a bowl, beat eggs, cream, salt and nutmeg. Stir in cheese. Pour into crust.
Bake at 425° for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 325°; continue to bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting. Yield: 6 servings.

a great recipe as is, but also a perfect base for using up any leftover veggies or whatever-we have this quiche every couple of weeks

Excellent! We love this recipe. I double the recipe and pour it into a greased 9" x 13" glass dish without the crust and serve it for Sunday Brunch. I also use Real Bacon bits 6 oz. instead of cooking bacon. Tastes great!!
