Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

If necessary, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Press the dough into the pan, trim any excess, and crimp the edges. Place it in the fridge to rest for 10 minutes.

Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans.

Bake for 10 minutes, then remove the parchment and weights. Bake for another 5 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool slightly.

Starting with a cold pan, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the pan, and drain on paper towels.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, salt, pepper, nutmeg (if using), and garlic powder.

Sprinkle the bacon evenly over the partially baked crust.

Add the shredded cheese on top of the bacon.

Pour the egg mixture over the bacon and cheese.

Bake the quiche in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top turns golden. If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover the edges with a foil ring to prevent overbaking.

Remove from the oven and let cool for 10–15 minutes and scatter with chives before slicing.
