Bacon Swiss Quiche Recipe

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Swiss cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: cheddar cheese

Low-fat cheese reduces calories and cheddar is often more affordable

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: ham

Turkey bacon is lower in fat, while ham can be a cost-effective alternative

pie crust

🥗Healthier: whole wheat crust

💰Cheaper: store-bought crust

Whole wheat crust adds fiber, while store-bought saves time

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes.

Remove bacon and drain on paper towels, leaving drippings in the skillet.

Sauté chopped onion in the bacon drippings until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, milk, mustard, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.

Spread sautéed onion and crumbled bacon evenly over the pie crust.

Pour egg mixture over the bacon and onion, then sprinkle with Swiss cheese and chives.

Bake in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the quiche is set and top is golden brown.

Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
