Sweet and Salty Bacon Topped Quiche
Author: 
 
Ingredients
  • 1 TBSP brown sugar
  • dash of paprika
  • dash of pepper
  • 12 slices of bacon (thickness varies depending on your preference)
  • ½ onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic, minced
  • 8 eggs
  • 1½ cups of cream
  • 1 tsp salt and pepper each
  • ½ tsp oregano
  • ¼ tsp thyme
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ⅛ tsp cayenne
  • dash of hot sauce
  • ½ cup shredded monterrey jack cheese or cheese of your choice
  • 1 biscuit dough/crust recipe or 1 store-bought deep dish pie crust
Instructions
  1. Mix together the first 3 ingredients and brush over the bacon slices. Set aside.
  2. In a small skillet, heat 1 TBSP of olive oil and saute the onions, peppers and garlic until just tender (5 minutes). Set aside to cool.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg and cream. Add in the remaining ingredients including the cooled onion, pepper and garlic mixture, cheese and hot sauce. Whisk to combine but not to long (30 seconds should do)
  4. Place the pie crust into a lightly greased 9 inch pie pan. Pour the quiche filling in making sure it doesn't rise above the crust. Envelop the bottom of the pie pan with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 425 for 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and place the bacon slices on top. You may either cut the bacon slices into 2 or leave them long. I chose to cut mine so my little boys could eat it easier. Place the quiche back in the oven for an additional 15 minutes or until the bacon is cooked like you like. Turn it to broil for 1 minute before removing from oven (just to get that last little shot of crispiness on the bacon). Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
