Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 6 slices bacon
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Butter or bacon fat for greasing
  • Black pepper (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish. Brown ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, about 8 minutes. Drain well.
  2. Cook bacon in the same skillet until crisp. Crumble into small pieces.
  3. In a bowl, whisk eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Stir the drained beef and half the cheese into the egg mixture. Pour into the dish and top with remaining cheese and crumbled bacon.
  5. Bake 30 to 35 minutes until the center jiggles slightly and the top is golden.
  6. Rest 10 minutes, then slice and serve.

Notes

The 10-minute rest is key; it finishes setting the center and prevents the quiche from falling apart when you cut it. If you use a glass dish, expect a few extra minutes in the oven. Nutrition values are per slice based on 6 servings.
