Step 1

Directions

Step 2

1. Cook bacon and let it cool.

Step 3

2. Sautée onion until soft (not brown)

Step 4

3. Cook sausage on medium heat until the meat is no longer pink.

Step 5

4. Ham of your choosing should be precooked as well. I prefer to use a ham steak with the edges trimmed off before cutting the ham into cubes.

Step 6

5. Once the bacon and sausage are cooled enough to handle, crumble into smaller pieces. Set aside all three meats.

Step 7

6. Shred cheeses and toss with flour and salt, set aside.

Step 8

6. Whisk eggs with half & half, nutmeg and worcestershire.

Step 9

7. Bake pastry shell at 450 degrees for 5 -10 minutes (follow the directions on the box).

Step 10

8. Remove pastry shell from oven and turn heat down to 325 degrees.

Step 11

9. Sprinkle onion, bacon, sausage, and ham in bottom of shell. Then sprinkle the layer of cheese.

Step 12

10. Gently pour the egg mixture over the top of the quiche, entirely covering the layered meat and cheese filling mixture.

Step 13

11. Bake for 45-60 minutes until set.

Step 14

12. Let the quiche cool partially before cutting so that it can further set.

Step 15

Bacon I always precook the bacon about halfway through. I prefer to bake the bacon on a cookie sheet for 10-15 minutes at 400 degrees.

Step 16

Cheese I always add extra cheese (we are cheese lovers!). For this recipe the 6 oz of Swiss (1 1/2 cups shredded cheese) I increased to 8 oz or 2 cups of shredded swiss). The 2 oz cheddar (1/2 cup shredded) I increased to about 3/4 cup of cheese or roughly 3 oz. However, with the increase in cheese I did not change the amount of flour or salt, which is something you might want to consider. Essentially it’s a matter of taste and using your discretion of how much more cheese you want to add.

Step 17

Baking I always bake the quiche in a pie plate placed on top of a foil covered cookie sheet to catch any run off of egg mixture and/or cheese (and a little always drips).

Step 18

Enjoy!
