Ingredients
For the crust:
2½ cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for rolling)
1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
6–8 tablespoons ice water
For the filling:
4 large eggs
½ cup heavy cream
½ cup milk
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
12 ounces bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
InstructionsPrepare the Crust:In a food processor, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs (butter pieces no larger than peas).Gradually add ice water, pulsing until the dough begins to come together.Turn the dough out and form it into two discs (about 4–5 inches wide). Wrap each in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight.Assemble the Quiche:Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).Roll out one disc of dough on a floured surface and fit it into a pie dish.In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, milk, salt, and pepper.Sprinkle the cooked bacon and shredded cheese evenly into the crust. Pour the egg mixture over the top.Bake:Bake the quiche for 45–50 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.Serve and Enjoy!
