Key Ingredients:
Bacon: The irresistible star of this dish. Crispy, golden bacon adds smoky richness and an addictive crunch in every bite.
Cheddar Cheese: A sharp, tangy cheese that melts nicely, gives creamy texture and strong flavor. For the most even melt, use cheese that you shred yourself.
Eggs: The reason for the custard filling. They give quiche its luscious, silky texture, which is part of what makes it so comforting.
Heavy Cream + Whole Milk: This ultimate combo contributes richness and balance to the custard. The cream adds decadence, while the milk lightens it a touch for a smooth, velvety texture.
Pie Crust: A golden, flaky structure that supports the filling. It’s a must-have for the classic quiche experience, whether it’s homemade or store-bought.
Turmeric: For intense color and a hint of earthy flavor. Just a little bit will amplify the seasoning overall.
Chopped Fresh Parsley (Optional): an herbaceous touch that make the finished dish pop.
