Description

A fun and easy breakfast quiche inspired by the classic Egg McMuffin, featuring eggs, Canadian bacon, sharp cheddar cheese, and a buttery pie crust. Perfect for family breakfasts or brunch, this savory quiche is simple to prepare and full of comforting flavors kids and adults will love.


Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 refrigerated pie crust

Filling

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 150 g Canadian bacon, diced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp chopped chives


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the quiche evenly.
  2. Prepare Pie Crust: Place the refrigerated pie crust into a 23-cm (9-inch) pie dish and gently press it into the edges to form an even base for the quiche.
  3. Mix Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the 6 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until smoothly blended.
  4. Add Filling to Crust: Evenly sprinkle the diced Canadian bacon and shredded cheddar cheese over the bottom of the pie crust, distributing the ingredients uniformly for balanced flavor.
  5. Pour Egg Mixture: Carefully pour the egg mixture over the bacon and cheese, allowing it to fill the crust without overflowing.
  6. Top with Chives: Sprinkle the chopped chives over the top of the quiche for a fresh burst of color and mild onion flavor.
  7. Bake the Quiche: Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the center is set and the top is lightly golden brown.
  8. Rest Before Serving: Remove the quiche from the oven and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes to make slicing easier and enhance the texture.

Notes

  • Turkey bacon or cooked breakfast sausage can be substituted for Canadian bacon for different flavors.
  • Incorporate spinach, diced bell peppers, or other vegetables to boost nutrition and add colorful variety.
  • Allow the quiche to cool slightly before cutting to achieve clean, neat slices without crumbling.
