Take note
Be careful not to overcook the quiche, as it may become dry and lose its gooey texture. Also, be cautious when handling hot ingredients and using kitchen appliances.

1

Prepare the Crust

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a mixing bowl, combine 1 ¼ cups of all-purpose flour with a pinch of salt. Cut in ½ cup of cold unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice-cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

2

Cook the Bacon

While the crust is chilling, cook 6 slices of bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and let it cool on a paper towel-lined plate. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

3

Prepare the Filling

In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 cup of heavy cream, ¾ cup of shredded cheddar cheese, ¼ cup of grated Parmesan cheese, ½ teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Stir in the crumbled bacon.

4

Assemble and Bake

Take the chilled dough out of the refrigerator and roll it into a circle large enough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Press the dough into the dish, trimming any excess. Pour the filling into the crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and golden brown on top.

5

Serve and Enjoy

Allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. It's perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a light dinner. Enjoy the cheesy, bacon-filled goodness!
