Cheddar Bacon Quiche Recipe

This post brought to you by Hormel Foods. The content and opinions expressed below are that of The Suburban Mom.

There is something about breakfast for dinner that makes my family run to the kitchen table. Don’t get me wrong they love breakfast in the morning too, but when I serve it for dinner it is a treat. (Little do my kids know the breakfast for dinner is just about the easiest dinner ever!) Feeling a little fancy, I decided to treat my crew to a Cheddar Bacon Quiche breakfast for dinner. (BTW if you haven’t made a quiche, it seems fancy but is totally easy!)

What’s not to love about a quiche? Bacon, eggs, cheese and pie crust! Sounds just as delicious to me in the mornings as it does for dinner, and my family agrees.

September is the National Family Meals Month, and in an effort to encourage family meals at home Hormel has joined the FMI Family Meals program and challenged me to share this easy family recipe that is sure to bring your family together for a meal. Did you know that family meals eaten at home have been proven to benefit the health and wellness of children and adolescents, to fight obesity, substance abuse and to make families stronger – creating a positive impact on our communities and our nation as a whole. That’s a great reason to make an effort to eat with your family. Find out more about Family Meals.

Cheddar Bacon Quiche

Ingredients

• 4 eggs, beaten
• 10 slices of Hormel Black Label Bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
• 1 refrigerated pie crust, softened as directed on box
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup half-and-half
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Place pie crust in 9-inch glass pie plate as directed on box.

In medium bowl, scramble eggs with half-and-half, salt and pepper; set aside. Layer bacon and cheeses in crust-lined pan. Pour egg mixture over top.

Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.

Let stand 5 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve.

Made with Hormel Black Label Bacon this recipe is as delicious as it is easy. Black Label Bacon features exceptional varieties that never compromise on quality or taste. This includes traditional bacon varieties, fully cooked bacon, thick cut bacon & Canadian bacon.

This recipe makes one quiche, but it is just as easy to make two at a time. If you only have one pie dish (like me), you can mix up a double batch and keep half of the ingredients stored in the fridge until the first is done cooking. Why make two? Because a quiche makes for great leftovers.

Breakfast for dinner, and then quick leftovers for breakfast the next morning. It’s the perfect double family even on busy school mornings. Besides, pie crusts are often sold in two packs. You might as well use them up.
