Ingredients

  • Refrigerated store-bought pie crust
  • 1 cup milk
  • 5 eggs slightly beaten
  • ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese or cheddar, swiss, asiago, etc.
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup asparagus chopped
  • 2-3 green onions sliced thinly

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a 9-inch pie plate with store-bought pie crust and crimp the edges.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk milk, eggs, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  • Layer cooked, crumbled bacon, Gruyère and Parmesan cheeses, chopped asparagus, and scallions in the crust-lined pie plate. Pour the egg mixture over the top.
  • Bake 15 minutes in the oven at 425 degrees. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees and continue to bake for another 20 to 25 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes before cutting into wedges.

Notes

How Do You Make a Crustless Quiche:

To skip the crust, generously grease the pie plate first. Then add the vegetables and pour the egg mixture over the top. Bake until the eggs are completely set throughout the center.

Can Quiche Be Made Ahead?

Absolutely! There are two ways to make quiche ahead.
First, once it's baked, cool the quiche for up to two hours on the counter, and then refrigerate. To reheat, cover the quiche with foil and bake for about at 325°F until just heated through. 
You can also freeze a quiche. Simply cool completely, then cover tightly with first plastic wrap and then a couple of foil sheets. Freeze for up to 3 months.
And lastly, you can freeze the quiche before baking. See our Make Ahead Quiche with Bacon, Cheese and Spinach for instructions on how we do freeze unbaked quiche.
