Cooking Steps
Let’s get to the fun part! Here’s how you whip up this incredible Bacon and Cheese Crustless Quiche:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). This is the number one rule in baking—start that oven!
- Whisk the eggs. In a large bowl, combine the 6 eggs and 1 cup of milk, whisking until it’s all merry and frothy. This mixture is the foundation of your quiche!
- Add the goodness. Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheese, 1 cup of crumbled bacon, 1/2 cup of diced onion, and 1/2 cup of diced bell pepper. Don’t forget to sprinkle in some salt and pepper to taste. Mix until well combined—this will be a party in your pie dish!
- Pour and bake. Grease your pie dish or quiche pan, then pour in the mixture. Bake it for about 30-35 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when it’s set and lightly browned on top. You may want to take a peek halfway through—just to enjoy that cheesy aroma wafting through your kitchen!
- Cool and serve. Give it a few minutes to cool down before slicing. Serve warm, and if you’re feeling fancy, top it off with some fresh herbs!
