Ultimate Gluten-Free Bacon Cheddar Quiche
Enjoy a savory gluten-free quiche loaded with bacon and cheddar, perfect for any meal prep or a delicious brunch.
Ingredients
- 1 unbaked gluten-free pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan
- 1 cup half-and-half or milk (For dairy-free use unsweetened almond or coconut milk.)
- 4 large eggs, whisked
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 cup cooked chopped gluten-free bacon
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 3 tablespoon chopped green onions
- 1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (For dairy-free I used Violife cheese shreds. )
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the 4 large eggs until frothy.
- Add the 1 cup half-and-half (or milk), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to the eggs and mix until fully combined.
- Layer the bottom of the prepared gluten-free pie crust with 1 cup of cooked chopped bacon and 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese. Sprinkle the 3 tablespoons of chopped green onions over the cheese layer.
- Carefully pour the whisked egg mixture evenly over the filling ingredients in the pie crust.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese over the top of the quiche filling.
- Place the quiche on the middle rack and bake for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, loosely cover the quiche with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning. Continue baking for another 20-30 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the quiche to cool for 5 to 10 minutes on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Ensure your gluten-free pie crust is fully blind-baked for best results.
- Use high-quality sharp cheddar for the best flavor.
- If you don't have bacon, cooked ham or sausage also work well.
- For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free cheese shreds and unsweetened plant-based milk. Allergens: Milk, Eggs, Wheat. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
