Ingredients

4 slices bacon
½ cup finely chopped bell pepper* red, yellow or orange
3 green onions chopped, white and light green parts only
¾ cup shredded Gruyere cheese*
6 large eggs
¾ cup whole milk
¼ cup half and half or heavy cream
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

Cook the Bacon

Preheat oven to 400° F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and fold up the edges of the foil to catch any grease. Lay the bacon in a single layer on the foil.
Bake bacon for 12-20 minutes, until cooked through and crispy. Reduce oven temperature to 350° F.
Transfer bacon to a paper towel lined plate to soak up excess grease. Then chop the bacon.

Assemble and Bake Quiche

Grease a 9-inch pie dish. Scatter the chopped bell pepper, green onions, chopped bacon and shredded cheese evenly over the bottom of the pie dish.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, half and half, salt and pepper until well combined. Pour the egg mixture over the other ingredients in the pie dish.
Bake at 350° F for 28-35 minutes, until quiche is set in the center. (The center should register at least 160° F on an instant read thermometer.) Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

You can substitute 1 cup chopped fresh spinach for the bell pepper.
Instead of Gruyere, you can use cheddar, white cheddar, swiss or feta cheese.
To store leftover quiche: Once cool, wrap tightly with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The easiest way to reheat quiche is to heat individual slices in the microwave. You can also reheat it in a 350° F oven.
If you would like to freeze the baked quiche, let it cool completely and then wrap it tightly. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
