Bacon and Cheese Quiche
Bacon and cheese quiche is a simple mix-and-bake dinner option. It freezes and reheats great, too! A great option for breakfast for dinner weeknights or early mornings.
I shouldn’t tell you what my husband always thinks we are having for dinner when he texts and I tell him quiche. (Pronounced “keesh” for those of you who aren’t familiar.) It’s totally inappropriate and for the life of me I can’t figure out why his mind always goes there. But he’s a man after all…
We have bacon and cheese quiche for dinner a couple times a month with hash browns. It’s a great breakfast for dinner option and you can make these in a mini muffin pan as an awesome appetizer too. They are always gone whenever we have them.
To make the crust easier, use a refrigerated one and just warm it on the counter for about 20 minutes before you unroll it and it will be perfect.
Sub in your favorite cheese, some ham, and other herbs you like. But I say why mess with a good thing? Bacon, cheese and green onions? That’s a good thing.
This also freezes perfect. Bake them and then wrap them in foil and rewarm in a 250/300 degree oven and you’re ready to serve.

Hi Rachael
I’ve been following and enjoying many of your recipes thank you.
In this one you have
1/2 cup half and half, what does this mean please?
Hi Jenny–I see your .au address so I assume that’s Australia. You may not have half and half there or you may call it something else but it’s a blend of milk and cream you can buy at the grocery store. Half whole milk and half heavy cream. You can swap in whole milk or all cream with equal success. –Rachel
This is fabulous!
