Ingredients
- 2 sheets Store-bought pie crust
- 6 slices Bacon
- 1 cup Smoked cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 units Large eggs
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives, finely chopped
- 0 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 3
Roll out the pie crust sheets on a floured surface. Use a 3-inch round cookie cutter to cut 12 circles. Gently press the circles into the prepared muffin tin to form mini crusts.
Step 4
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease, then crumble into small pieces and set aside.
Step 5
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 6
Evenly distribute the crumbled bacon into the pie crusts. Next, sprinkle a generous pinch of smoked cheddar cheese over the bacon in each crust.
Step 7
Carefully pour the egg mixture into each crust, filling to just below the edge. Do not overfill to prevent spilling during baking.
Step 8
Sprinkle chopped chives over the top of each quiche for added flavor and color.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg filling is set and lightly golden on top.
Step 10
Remove the quiches from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Step 11
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
