Bacon and Cheese Quiche

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Bake: 40 min. + standing YIELD: 6 servings.
With a quiche like this, you don't need a lot of heavy side dishes. It's got everything—eggs, bacon, cheese and a touch of apple juice for a salty-sweet fix. —Colleen Belbey, Warwick, Rhode Island

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet refrigerated pie crust
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1-1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened apple juice
  • 1 pound sliced bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese

Directions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°. Line a 9-in. pie plate with crust; trim and flute edges. Set aside. In a small skillet, saute green onions in butter until tender.
  • 2. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, cream and apple juice. Stir in bacon, salt, pepper and green onions. Pour into crust; sprinkle with cheese.
  • 3. Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 40-45 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
