Quiche may be considered the quintessential fare for Mother’s Day, a bridal luncheon, or any event centered around food and women. But my husband was quite swept away by this Brie and Bacon Quiche from Tasty Kitchen member Nancy in New Mexico. And, yes, he’s a real man, apparently a real man who recognizes an excellent quiche when he tastes it.

Quiche is so flexible. Over the years I’ve prepared many combinations, except this one. After one bite it seemed so obvious. Brie and bacon. Bacon and brie. Why hadn’t I thought of the duo before? They certainly make for a good marriage. But you just need to see for yourself. Wanna see how?

To get started you’ll need a deep dish pie crust (I used a 9″), Brie cheese, Swiss cheese, cooked and crumbled bacon, eggs, whipping cream, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, nutmeg, salt and pepper.

Begin by crumbling the cheese (or shredding, or cutting) and placing it in the bottom of the pie shell. I did not pre-bake my pie shell, because the, yep, frozen one from the grocery store didn’t instruct me to do so. I’m sure many of you have a fabulous pie crust you can whip up and use just as easily.

And just curious, while on the subject, what’s the rule for pre-baking or not pre-baking a pie crust? That always stumps me.

Moving right along …

Next, top the cheese with the crumbled bacon.

Now for some light mixing. In a bowl, beat the eggs, then add the nutmeg, salt, pepper, Worcestershire, whipping cream, and sour cream.

Mix it all up real good.

Pour the egg mixture over the cheese- and bacon-filled pie shell, then bake according to recipe directions (the link to the entire printable recipe is at the bottom of this post).

Golden perfection. No runny quiche here. Perfect proportions for this recipe.

 
Beautiful and tasty. Thanks Nancy in New Mexico for sharing this yummy recipe. I think real men all over the world will be very pleased, and, of course, us ladies too.

And here’s one final quick tip: make two.

Happy cooking!
