How to make a delicious Bacon Swiss Quiche for Brunch!

Quiches are quick to make and come together in one-bowl, making them the ultimate easy brunch option. Plus, you can make it the night before and just bake it prior to serving brunch!

I’m a huge fan of quiche and how versatile they are. Make them with any of your favorite vegetables or meats. My love affair with quiche started with Quiche Lorraine and it’s only escalated since then.

They’re warm and comforting, without being too heavy. Quiche is great on it’s own or you can make it a complete brunch meal with a side salad.

I’ll walk you through the exact steps to end up with the perfect quiche and how to take your brunch to the next level. You’ll love all the savory flavors that pair with the light egg custard.

How To Make Bacon Swiss Quiche

I love to keep things super easy and use a frozen pie crust, but if you want to make a homemade pie crust, use a 9-inch pie dish. All you need is a medium mixing bowl and a whisk to beat your eggs. That’s it!

What To Serve With Bacon Swiss Quiche

Quiches are like complete meals. You don’t need to serve them with anything, but I like a light and refreshing vinaigrette side salad. A light lemon vinaigrette is perfect for brunch with arugula. 

Since the quiche has bacon, feel free to add other breakfast meats as a side item. Ham or sausage can be served along the side or as a breakfast sandwich with the quiche. Decide whether you want to serve a heavy brunch or keep it light.

Tips For Making Quiche Ahead Of Time

If you want to make quiche ahead of time, make the custard in a mixing bowl and add the filling ingredients to the custard. Store it in the refrigerator. Keep the custard in the fridge until you’re ready to bake the quiche. I’ll prep the custard in the morning and bake it when I get home, right before dinner. Or make it the night before for a brunch.

Just pour the custard into frozen pie dish and bake as directed. It’s just as delicious even when you prep the quiche ahead of time.

How To Store Leftover Quiche

For best freshness, enjoy the quiche within 5-6 days of baking it. Either transfer slices to an airtight food storage container or cover the quiche with plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator. To reheat the quiche, I just microwave mine in the 30-second increments on high. It’s a great to-go lunch option!

Can You Freeze Quiche?

Yes! You can easily freeze quiche and serve it later. 9-inch pies easily slide into gallon freezer bags. Store the quiche in the back of the freezer, where the temperature does’t fluctuate much. Let it thaw in the refrigerator, overnight, before reheating again.

Recipe Variations

Add any vegetables that you want to! I love to add whatever is growing in our garden or what’s on sale at the grocery store. If you want to do cooked sausage or ham, instead of bacon, that’s another great option. It depends on what flavor you want. I start with bacon and mix it up on occasion.

What You Need From The Grocery Store:

  • Frozen Pie Crust
  • Eggs
  • Half and Half
  • Bacon
  • Yellow Onion
  • Mushrooms
  • Spinach
  • Swiss Cheese

Notes

    • If needed, cover your pie crust edges with aluminum foil or crust shields if the crust starts to darken on the edges before the middle is done.
    • If desired, turn on the broiler for the last few minutes of cooking to brown the top. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
    • The pie crust needs to remain frozen until ready to use.
