Ingredients

• 1 piece Pre-made pie crust
• 8 ounces Cream cheese
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
• 4 slices Cooked bacon (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any overhanging edges and prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling during baking.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Set aside to soften further.

Step 4

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the softened cream cheese to the egg mixture, whisking until it is fully incorporated and smooth.

Step 6

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and fresh chives.

Step 7

If using cooked bacon, crumble it into small pieces and add it to the mixture.

Step 8

Pour the quiche filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is golden brown and the center is set (a knife inserted in the center should come out clean).

Step 10

Let the quiche cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing to allow it to set fully.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature with a side salad or fresh fruit for a complete meal.
