how to make Bacon and Cheese Quiche ?
The best quiche recipe I have ever made is this bacon quiche recipe. It is a simple basic quiche and it really is mouthwateringly delicious.
When I was a young girl, I believe one of the first food projects I tackled that allowed me to use the oven, was this bacon quiche recipe. I didn’t want to make cookies or brownies, I wanted to make a quiche.
There was this little family owned cafe that we used have breakfast at all the time. My Mom would order this pie with no crust and no fruit filling. I asked her what it was and if it was sweet. She said “No, this is a bacon and cheese quiche.” Of course, I started with all the questions. So when we got home she showed me a recipe for this bacon and cheese quiche. Nothing would do but that we go out and get the ingredients so that I could make this crazy quiche.
Well, that is what we did. I made my first quiche at 10 years old and I did a pretty fine job of it, if I do say so myself.
I feel I have perfected this recipe over the years and I can truly say this is my best quiche recipe.
