Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1/2 cup parmesan/romano cheese
1 onions, cut in half & finely sliced
6 large eggs
4 slices bacon, cut into small cubes or 1/4 cup pancetta
6 sundried tomatoes (if dry, soaked in hot water for over an hour), finely chopped
1 cup milk
1 pie shell
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
thyme (optional)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cook the pie shell for about 11-14 minutes (until slightly golden, or follow instructions on the package). Let cool. Leave the oven on and lower heat to 325. In a medium size pan over medium heat, add 2 tbsp olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions and cook for about 15 minutes, until they are nicely caramelized. Let cool for a little bit (put them in the fridge to speed up the process). Cook the bacon/pancetta until crispy and leave to cool. Meanwhile, whisk eggs & milk in a bowl, add the sundrieds tomatoes & parmesan/romano cheese, 1 tbsp thyme (optional), and season with salt & pepper. Add onions and bacon/pancetta to the mixture. Pour the mixture into the pie shell and cook for 30-40 minutes. Stick a toothpick in the middle of the quiche. If it comes out clean, it's ready.

Ingredients

6 slices bacon (i use oscar meyer real bacon pieces, they are already cooked)
1/4 c butter
2 green onion with tops, chopped
2-3 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
pinch of thyme
3 -4 large basil leaves, chopped
chopped garlic, as desired
6 eggs, beaten until well mixed (i use the equivalent amt. of egg beaters)
freshly ground black pepper
mrs. dash to taste (or salt)
1 9 inch baked pie shell

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Have pie shell at room temp. Dust bottom of pie pan with flour, then dust bottom of pie shell with flour after you put dough into the pie pan, this keeps pie crust from getting soggy. Bake about 10-12 minutes (you will finish baking later). Lower oven temp. to 350. Melt butter in frypan. Chop bacon, if not using already cooked bacon pieces. Add to melted butter bacon, chopped onions and saute over moderate heat until golden in color. If I'm using already cooked bacon, wait until onions are about done to add. Add tomatoes, herbs, garlic and black pepper. Cover and simmer about 10-15 minutes. In bowl, beat eggs until well mixed. Allow tomato mixture to cool slightly before adding eggs. Combine eggs and onion mixture and pour into pie shell. Bake about 25 minutes until filling is set and golden. Serve hot or cold.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh, ripe tomatoes, crispy bacon, and a flavorful cheese blend.
Don't overcook the quiche. The center should be slightly wobbly when you take it out of the oven. This will ensure that the quiche is cooked through but still moist.
Let the quiche cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.
Serve the quiche with a side of salad or fruit for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

Bacon and tomato quiche is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great make-ahead meal, so you can have a tasty and satisfying meal on hand whenever you need it. Experiment with different variations of the recipe to find your favorite, and don't be afraid to get creative with your toppings.
