Paula says- “My family loved this! This year I made 3 quiche recipes for our brunch. I prebaked all three crusts the night before, cooled them and wrapped them in plastic wrap and left them on the counter overnight. Made everything so much easier the next morning, as all ingredients were prepped ahead also. Quiches came out perfect.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I’ve always been a huge fan of quiche. What’s not to love about a savory pie with a buttery crust and a cheesy filling?
I’m always looking for ways to keep the holidays simple. Meals that can be prepared ahead of time and that make great leftovers can really help you get the most out of the holiday season. The less time spent cooking and meal planning, the more time for family games, decorating, Christmas caroling, visiting friends, and shopping for gifts.
This Bacon and Potato Quiche is extra easy to prepare thanks to Simply Potatoes® which are made from fresh, never frozen potatoes. They really help cut down on time spent preparing a meal since they’ve already been peeled and chopped for you.
Simply Potatoes Diced Potatoes can be roasted in the oven or pan-fried to serve as a side for breakfast or dinner, or you can add them to your favorite recipe.
You may not typically think of adding potatoes to a quiche, but they taste so good, especially when combined with bacon.
How To Make
(More detailed instructions in recipe card below.)
- Cook the potatoes and onion. First cook the potatoes for 8 minutes and then add the onion. Cook another 4 to 5 minutes.
- Prepare the crust. Shape pie dough into 9-inch pie plate. Add foil and pie weights and bake 10 minutes. Remove pie weights and bake another 5 minutes.
- Mix the egg mixture.
- Assemble. Add half the potato mixture, half the bacon, and half the cheese to crust. Repeat layers.
- Add egg mixture. Pour egg mixture over the top.
- Bake. Let cool 20 minutes and then slice.
How To Serve Quiche
I always bake a few quiches during the holidays when my kids are out of school. They tend to sleep in and be on their own clock and having a quiche in the fridge means I don’t have to worry about what they are going to eat when they wake up. And I love that quiche works equally well for breakfast , lunch, brunch, or dinner.
Typically I serve quiche with either a garden salad or a fruit salad like this Creamy Fruit Salad.
Variations and Substitutions
- You can use either a refrigerated pie crust, frozen pie crust, or homemade pie crust.
- To make this quiche spicy, add a diced jalapeno or half a teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes.
- If you don’t like swiss cheese, use mozzarella or Monterey Jack instead or use all cheddar cheese.
- You can use crumbled, cooked sausage in place of bacon.
- For a little extra flavor, add a little chopped fresh parsley, rosemary, or thyme.
