Bacon and Cheddar Quiche

The best thing about quiche is that it can be served for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. Always perfect with fresh fruit or a tossed salad.

1 9-inch deep dish pie shell
8 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
4 eggs
2 cups half and half
1/4 t. dried leaf thyme
1/4 t. onion powder
1/4 t. dry mustard
1/8 t. pepper
1 and 1/2 cups sharp shredded Cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. This quiche works best if the crust is pre-baked just a little. Prick dough first and line with aluminum foil. Fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake about 10 minutes.

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, half and half, and seasonings. Pour into the baked crust. Crumble bacon over the top with cheddar cheese. Bake for about 30 minutes or until filling is set and top is lightly browned.
