Description

The best quiche I’ve ever had … and easy! Bacon, red peppers and onions in a creamy Swiss cheese egg custard, so delicious you’ll be making it for your family for dinner!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Crushed Saltine Crackers
  • 1 stick Butter
  • 4 whole Eggs, Beaten
  • 2-¼ cups Swiss Cheese, Shredded
  • 8 slices Bacon (cooked)
  • 2-¼ cups Half-and-half
  • 2 Tablespoons Red Pepper, Chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons Red Onion, Chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Pepper
  • ½ teaspoons Paprika

Preparation

In a food processor, whiz crackers up until fine crumbs are formed (or place in a gallon Ziploc baggie and use a rolling pin to crush).

In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in the cracker crumbs. Spread cracker crumbs in the bottom and up the sides of a pie dish to form the crust, pressing firmly.

Starting with eggs, combine remaining ingredients in a large mixing bowl and pour into the crust. Use a spoon or spatula to evenly push around the cheese and other fillings. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until a fork inserted in the center of the quiche comes out clean without any eggs sticking to it.

Other variations: switch up bacon for cooked crumbled sausage, or ham chunks.

Try fresh chopped spinach or asparagus—delicious!
