Quick & Easy Quiche

I've been making one or another variations of this quiche for twenty+ years. Here's what I've learned:

• homemade crust is the gold standard, but Trader Joe's frozen will do in a pinch (I will share my crust recipe and know-how during Pie Week.)
• you can pretty much put anything you want in it, but cheese and bacon is the best
• it doesn't freeze.

We like it for dinner with muffins and a salad, but make two.

Quick & Easy Quiche

What's not to love about bacon?

1 unbaked 9-inch deep dish pie crust
2 cups Swiss cheese, grated
1 pound bacon, fried crisp-ish and crumbled
6 eggs
1/2 cup milk or cream, obviously cream is best
salt and pepper to taste
a dash of basil and a drop of vanilla

Sprinkle Swiss cheese and bacon on top of unbaked pie crust. Beat eggs with a wire whisk until foamy. Beat in milk or cream, then add salt, pepper, basil and vanilla. Pour egg mixture over cheese and bacon. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Let sit 10 minutes before serving. Makes 1 pie.
