Quiche Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 3/4 cup ricotta cheese (part-skim)
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup crumbled cooked bacon
- 1/4 cup diced green onion
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare the Pie Pan: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 9-inch pie pan evenly with nonstick cooking spray and set it aside.
- Mix the Quiche Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and ricotta cheese until smooth. Season the mixture with kosher salt and ground black pepper. Then fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and diced green onions, mixing until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Assemble and Bake the Quiche: Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pie pan, spreading it out evenly. Place the pan on the center rack of your preheated oven and bake for 27 to 30 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and firm in the center.
- Cool, Slice, and Serve: Carefully remove the baked quiche from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes to set slightly. Slice into portions and serve warm for a perfect savory breakfast or brunch dish.
Notes
- You can substitute bacon with cooked sausage or omit for a vegetarian variation (omit bacon and consider adding mushrooms or spinach).
- Using part-skim ricotta helps reduce fat but keeps creaminess.
- The quiche can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
- Ensure not to overbake to keep the quiche fluffy and moist.
- Nonstick spray ensures easy removal; alternatively, lightly grease with butter or oil.
