Bacon
Cheddar and Onion Quiche Recipe
Prep
Time: 30 minutes (includes all frying, cutting and
preparation time but does not include any thawing time for frozen bacon
or washing dishes.)
Bake Time:
60 minutes
Ingredients:
12 slices bacon (1
standard size package-about 1/2 pound) thawed and crisply fried and
crumbled
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/3
cup finely chopped sweet onion (about 1/2 of a medium size onion)
2
cups milk
1/2 cup biscuit mix
4 eggs
1/2-teaspoon
salt
1/4-teaspoon pepper
Step
1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 2: Fry your bacon in a
frying pan on medium-to medium-high heat or in the microwave until the
bacon is very crisp and easy enough to crumble. Drain on paper towel
and cool until you are able to handle the bacon.
While the bacon is frying:
Step 3: Grate your cheddar
cheese and place aside.
Step
4: Peel and finely chop your onion and place aside.
Step 5: In a medium bowl,
use a whisk to combine the milk, biscuit mix, eggs, salt and pepper.
When bacon is cool:
Step 6: Crumble bacon into
small pieces and place aside.
Step
7: Grease a 9 or 10-inch pie plate or quiche baking dish with
cooking spray or butter. Layer half of the crumbled bacon, onion and
cheddar cheese evenly over the bottom of the dish. Repeat with the
remaining half of bacon, onion and cheese.

Step 8: Pour the egg and
milk mixture evenly over the bacon, cheese and onion. Make sure the
liquid only comes to within 1/4" of the top edge of the baking dish.
Step 9: Place in oven and
bake for 60 minutes.
To test
for doneness: Insert a knife into the center of the bacon cheddar and
onion quiche. The center should be firm and no liquid should come out.
Let cool and set for 5 minutes and it will be
ready to eat. Cut into 6 or 8 pieces.
Serves
4-6.
