Ingredients for bacon onion herb quiche
- Eggs – This is the base for quiche. I like to use large farm-fresh eggs since they have the best flavor.
- Milk – Mixed with the eggs, it helps the quiche set up to the perfect eggy custard. If you don’t have whole milk on hand you can also use half and half or heavy cream.
- Onion – I used yellow onion in this quiche because I had it on hand. However, sweet onion would be a great option as well.
- Bacon – Not only does bacon taste great in a quiche, but it adds protein and flavor and tastes great overall. You can cook up bacon fresh or use shelf-stable precooked bacon for a quicker option.
- Fresh herbs – I used a mix of rosemary and thyme, but you could also use fresh oregano, chives, or basil.
- Cheese – I used a mix of shredded mozzarella and goat cheese. You can easily swap out the cheeses for your favorites, such as shredded cheddar, pepper Jack, or feta.
- Pie crust – I used a refrigerated pie crust that you can find near canned biscuits, cinnamon rolls, and other pastries.
Using store-bought pie crust
You can easily use whatever store-bought pie crust you have on hand.
I have used both the refrigerated type you unroll and place into a pie plate and the frozen a-metal pie plate kind.
Both work well here and do not require pre or par-baking.
If you use a frozen pie crust, I like to buy the deep dish kind, so all the filling fits easily.
Using homemade pie crust
You can easily use your favorite homemade pie crust for this recipe.
Again, there is no need to prebake the crust; add the quiche ingredients to the pie crust and then bake.

Instructions

- In a 12-inch skillet cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon from the pan and leave all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat in the skillet.

- In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, rosemary, thyme, kosher salt, and black pepper.
- Whisk until the mixture is smooth.
- Take out your pie crust and scatter the bacon and onions evenly along the bottom of the pie crust.
- Gently pour the egg mixture over top the onions and bacon.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella and goat cheese into the quiche.
- Place your quiche onto a baking sheet (this just helps in case of spills) and place it into the oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes.

- Let rest for about 15 minutes before devouring.
