Time 52m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 cups crushed butter flavored crackers (like Ritz)
6 tablespoons butter, melted
6 slices cooked bacon, drained and crumbled
2 cups swiss cheese, shredded
4 eggs
2 cups heavy cream (I use Half & Half)
0.25 (1 1/4 ounce) package ranch dressing mix (up to 1/2 pkg.)
1 tablespoon instant minced onion

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In medium bowl, combine crackers and butter.
Press crumb mixture evenly into 10" pie pan or quiche dish.
Bake until golden about 7 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
INCREASE oven temp to 425 degrees F.
Sprinkle cheese over cooled pie crust.
In medium bowl, whisk eggs until frothy; add cream, salad dressing mix, bacon, and onions.
Pour mixture over cheese.
Bake 15 minutes; REDUCE OVEN HEAT to 350 degrees F.
Continue baking until knife inserted into center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
Cool for 10 minutes on wire rack before slicing.

Tips:

For a flaky crust: Use cold butter and work it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Then, add ice water one tablespoon at a time until the dough just comes together. Avoid overworking the dough, as this will make it tough.
For a creamy filling: Use a combination of eggs, cream, and cheese. You can also add other ingredients, such as cooked meat, vegetables, or herbs, to taste.
For a golden brown crust: Brush the top of the quiche with an egg wash before baking. This will help it to brown evenly.
To prevent a soggy crust: Preheat the oven before baking the quiche. This will help to create a crispy crust.
Let the quiche cool before slicing: This will help to prevent it from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Ranch style quiche is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With its creamy filling and flaky crust, it's sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this ranch style quiche recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
