Here’s a Bacon-Cheese Quiche recipe:

This versatile dish goes from brunch buffet to dinner table in a snap and is great with a leafy green salad. The flaky crust and custard filling make it a perfect vehicle for an array of mix-ins. Baking the crust before adding the filling, known as blind baking, ensures it won’t get soggy. Our favorite pie dough recipe is Basic Pie Crust.
