Easy bacon and cheese quiche is made quickly in a blender with eggs and cottage cheese and then poured into a store-bought pie crust that has been filled with bacon and shredded cheese for a velvety smooth quiche. After baking, this quiche can be enjoyed or popped in the freezer for use at a later date. Thanks to the sous vide egg bites from Starbucks, I have a love for velvety smooth eggs.

Whether my sous vide egg bites or Ninja Foodi Crustless Quiche, I have perfected velvety smooth eggs. A good quiche is one of my favorite things to make on the weekend and then eat for breakfast or lunch through out the week. I also love my mushroom and bacon quiche.
Easy Bacon and Cheese Quiche Ingredients
The ingredients in this quiche are your standard eggs, cheese, and bacon you can assume from the title. But in addition to the standard ingredients are cottage cheese and mozzarella cheese with cream cheese in it as well as seasonings. The pie crust is the holder of all of this goodness. Feel free to make one from scratch, or be like me and buy one at the store.
How to make a quiche with velvety smooth eggs?
The key to the velvety egg texture is the smooth mixing of the eggs with cottage cheese and shredded mozzarella with cream cheese. I love using my Ninja blender cups
While you are mixing the eggs, pop the pie crust in the oven. You can use a frozen pie shell in a pie pan already or roll out a refrigerator pie crust into one of your pie pan. Use a fork to poke holes in the bottom of the pie crust. Bake on 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Pull the pie crust out and line the bottom of shredded colby jack cheese and then when crumbled bacon or bacon crumbles. I love the bacon crumbles from sam's club.
Then over the bacon and cheese, pour the blended eggs and cheeses. Pour evenly over the pie crust to be sure it is evenly spread out.
Finally, put back in the oven and bake for 35-45 minutes at 350 degrees. Every oven is slightly different so bake until the toothpick comes out clean. Let cool before cutting to let the eggs continue to set up.
Slice the quiche and serve with a side of country potatoes, fruit, or even a simple green salad. This easy quiche recipe will be perfect for brunch or breakfast on Christmas morning.
