🍽 Ingredients

• 4 large Eggs
• 1/2 cup Milk or Cream
• Pinch Salt
• Pinch Pepper
• 4 slices, cooked and crumbled Bacon
• 1/2 cup, chopped Onion
• 1/2 cup, chopped Bell Peppers
• 1 1/2 cups, shredded Cheddar Cheese

📖 Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie plate or an oven-safe skillet with butter or cooking spray. This prevents sticking and ensures even baking.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup of milk (or cream for a richer quiche), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk until light and frothy. Don't over-whisk, though, or you might end up with a tough quiche.
3. In a large bowl, combine 4 slices of cooked bacon, crumbled, 1/2 cup of chopped onion, and 1/2 cup of chopped bell peppers (any color you like!). Gently toss to combine. I prefer using a mix of red and green bell peppers for a vibrant look and a mix of sweet and slightly bitter flavors.
4. Pour the egg mixture over the bacon and vegetable mixture. Stir gently to combine, but be careful not to overmix. You want the ingredients to be somewhat distributed but not totally homogeneous — a little bit of texture is nice!
5. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Don't be shy! Cheese is delightful. This recipe uses cheddar, but feel free to experiment.
6. Carefully place the pie plate or skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set and golden brown. The center should be just slightly jiggly—don't overbake it! Check it after 30 minutes; ovens vary wildly.
7. Once baked, let the quiche cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps it set properly and prevents a messy slice. Slice, serve, and enjoy! (And maybe a mimosa?)

📝 Notes

• For a richer quiche, use heavy cream instead of milk.
• Feel free to adjust the amount of cheese to your liking.
• If you like a spicier quiche, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the egg mixture.
• Make sure your bacon is fully cooked before adding it to the quiche to prevent undercooked meat
