Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Apple, Cheddar, and Bacon Quiche.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a toasty 450°F (230°C).
Step 2
While the oven warms up, gently press your pie crust into the bottom and up the sides of an 11-inch tart pan, creating a cozy home for your delicious filling.
Step 3
Once the oven is ready, pop the crust in and bake it for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until it turns a lovely golden brown.
Step 4
When it’s done, take it out and let it cool while you prepare the filling.
Step 5
Now, lower the oven temperature to a comfortable 325°F (165°C).
Step 6
In a large skillet, cook some bacon over medium-high heat, turning it occasionally until it’s perfectly browned and crispy, which should take around 10 minutes.
Step 7
Once it’s done, drain the bacon on paper towels and crumble it into delightful bits once it’s cooled down.
Step 8
Using the same skillet, let the bacon grease work its magic by heating it over medium-high heat.
Step 9
Toss in the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, which should take about 5 minutes.
Step 10
Next, add the sliced apple and cook until it’s just tender, around 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 11
Stir in some garlic and sauté for an additional minute to bring out those wonderful flavors.
Step 12
Remove the skillet from the heat and mix in the crumbled bacon, creating a savory blend that will make your taste buds dance.
Step 13
In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, sour cream, eggs, sea salt, and a pinch of cinnamon until everything is well combined and smooth.
Step 14
Now it’s time to layer your creation! Start with the apple mixture, then sprinkle in some shredded Cheddar cheese, and finally pour over the egg mixture.
Step 15
For a finishing touch, sprinkle dried sage on top, adding a fragrant note to your quiche.
Step 16
Bake this beautiful creation in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the quiche is set and golden.
Step 17
Once it’s out of the oven, let it cool slightly before serving.
Step 18
Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors in every bite!.
