Pimento Cheese & Bacon Quiche

A pimento cheese and bacon quiche is a delicious Southern spin on the classic brunch dish. With only a handful of ingredients and a surprisingly easy prep, this can be on your table for your next brunch occasion almost effortlessly!

Certain holidays just call for special brunches.

Easter, Mother’s Day, heck even Christmas morning!

You bet your bottom dollar that I’ll serve something special.

However, I’m not a morning person by any stretch of the imagination so I like dishes that I can put together without a lot of thought.

Take this pimento cheese and bacon quiche.

Dare I say that it’s easier to make than a pan of scrambled eggs and way more impressive?

It’s truly the perfect centerpiece for any brunch occasion!

Ingredients

To make this you’ll need:

• Pie crust– One of the biggest time savers for this recipe? Use a prepared 9″ frozen deep dish pie crust. Don’t feel like you have to make your own crust from scratch.
• Pimento cheese– Either store bought or homemade Southern Style Pimento Cheese.
• Bacon bits– By all means, you can cook and crumble some bacon strips if you really want to, but you can also skip that and use a package of real bacon bits.
• Eggs
• Dairy products– 2% milk and heavy cream.
• Salt and pepper– To taste

How to Make

This pimento cheese and bacon quiche is a snap to make!

Just crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl and whisk them together to combine.

Discard the shells.

Then stir the cheese, bacon, milk, and cream into the mixing bowl until the mixture’s evenly combined.

Pour the egg mixture into the pie crust until full, but do not overfill it or the filling will spill over while cooking.

Set the pie on a rimmed baking sheet, then bake at 375° for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Take the quiche out of the oven and let it rest for a full 15 minutes.

Slice and serve warm.

Enjoy!

Storing Leftovers

Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

You can also freeze any leftover slices by putting cooled pieces of quiche into airtight freezer safe containers or ziplocking bags and freeze for up to 3 months.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes!

You can make the quiche ahead of time, let it cool, and wrap it tightly in foil before placing it in a large freezer safe ziplocking bag.

Freeze it for up to 3 months.

When you are ready to enjoy the quiche, unwrap it and bake it at 350 until hot in the center about an hour and a half.

Serving Suggestions

This quiche pairs well with breakfast meats like sausage or bacon and fruit salad.

For lunch or dinner I like to serve it with a side of roasted veggies and a green salad.

Tips and Tricks

• DO NOT skip the rest time. This allows the filling to finish fully setting up.
• There’s no need to thaw or blind bake the prepared pie crust before filling and baking as instructed.
• You can use homemade or store bought pimento cheese in this recipe.
