Easy Puff Pastry Bacon and Cheddar Quiche

This simple bacon and cheddar quiche is a really quick and easy recipe for Sunday brunch. No need to make pastry, just use store bought frozen puff pastry. No need to roll out the pastry either or even trim it into a circle for a standard pie plate, just use a square baking dish instead and save the fuss.


Serves 4

1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
6 eggs
6 slices smoked bacon
2 cloves minced garlic
½ cup whipping cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ tsp salt
½ tsp freshly ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Place the puff pastry sheet in a 8x8 inch baking pan, covering the bottom and sides.

Cut the bacon in small pieces and fry to crisp in a heavy skillet over medium low heat.

Whisk together the eggs, whipping cream, salt and pepper. Fold in the garlic, cheese and bacon. Pour into the pastry crust and bake for about 30 minutes or until the eggs are fully set. Cut and serve.
