How to Make Meat Lovers Quiche

There was only a little bit of Swiss cheese left in the fridge, so I decided to use three different kinds of cheese, Swiss, Parmesan, and cheddar. This turned out perfectly! Follow along:

Step 1: Put the filling in the par-baked crust and then pour the eggs on top. Then the meat and cheese are more evenly distributed throughout the quiche. After I added the fillings to the crust on this quiche, I was worried that the eggs wouldn’t fit, but it was perfect.

Step 2: If the quiche is getting too brown on top, you can cover it with foil. Be sure to check the middle of the quiche with a toothpick or a knife to see if the center is cooked, similarly to how you would check a cake to see if it’s done.

Pro Tip: This quiche is perfect for holiday breakfasts as well. I’m sure your family would love to wake up to a slice of this on Easter or Christmas morning. Or, quiche freezes very well. You could bake it and freeze it in slices for a great breakfast any day of the week.

Recipe FAQs

Expert Tips

• Blind-bake the Crust: To avoid a soggy bottom, blind-bake the crust for 10 minutes before adding the filling. This helps create a sturdy base and keeps the crust crisp.
• Use Room Temperature Eggs and Dairy: For a smoother, fluffier texture, make sure your eggs, milk, and cream are at room temperature before mixing them into the filling.
• Don’t Overfill the Quiche: Avoid overfilling your quiche with too much meat or cheese, as it can affect the cooking time and consistency. Stick to the recommended proportions for the best results.

Storing Meat Quiche

To store leftover meat quiche, allow it to cool completely before refrigerating. Once cooled, place it in an airtight container or wrap it tightly with plastic wrap to keep it fresh. It will last for up to 3-4 days in the fridge, making it easy to enjoy the leftovers throughout the week.

If you want to store the quiche for a longer period, freezing is a great option. Wrap the quiche or individual slices in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, or place them in a freezer-safe container. It will stay fresh for up to 2 months! To reheat, use the oven at 350°F for best results, which helps maintain the crust’s crispiness. Avoid microwaving if possible, as it can make the crust soggy, though it will still be safe to eat.

Cook ModePrevent your screen from going to sleep

Ingredients 

1x2x3x

• 1 homemade or store-bought single-crust pie dough
• 6 large eggs well beaten
• ½ cup milk
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 4 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
• 1 cup cooked ground sausage
• ½ cup diced ham
• 2 large green onions chopped
• 1 cup shredded cheese

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 425º. Press crust into a 9 inch quiche pan, prick crust and bake until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
• In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Sprinkle the bacon, sausage, ham, green onions, and cheese evenly on top of precooked crust. Pour the egg mixture on top.
• Bake for 20 minutes until the center is set and a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Season the filling well: Add a pinch of salt, pepper, and spices like paprika or garlic powder to enhance the flavors of the meats and cheese.

Avoid overbaking: Bake just until the center is set but slightly jiggly—it will continue cooking as it cools.
