Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chili Corn Bacon Quiche.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
While that warms up, gently place your unbaked pastry shell into a 9-inch pie or quiche pan.
Step 3
To keep your crust from bubbling up, take a fork and prick the bottom and sides of the shell.
Step 4
Once your oven is ready, pop the pastry shell in and let it bake for about 8 minutes.
Step 5
After that, take it out and set it aside, but keep the oven on because we’re not done yet! In a medium bowl, whisk together some fat-free half-and-half, eggs, salt, and black pepper until the mixture becomes light and fluffy—this is where the magic begins! Now, sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese, thawed corn, drained green chile peppers, and crumbled bacon evenly over the baked pastry shell.
Step 6
This colorful filling is not just delicious; it’s a feast for the eyes too! Carefully pour the egg mixture over the top, making sure it spreads evenly across all those tasty ingredients.
Step 7
Now it’s time to return the quiche to the oven and let it bake for about 30 minutes.
Step 8
You’ll know it’s ready when the filling is just set but still has a little wiggle in the center—trust me, that’s the sweet spot! Once it’s baked to perfection, take the quiche out of the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes.
Step 9
If you like, garnish it with some fresh parsley for a pop of color.
Step 10
Now, slice it up and serve—enjoy every delicious bite of your homemade quiche!.
