How To Make bacon and green chile quiche

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Unfold crust using fingertips to press together any tears. Press crust into a 9-inch diameter deep dish. Press foil onto crust to hold shape. Bake 5 minutes. Remove from oven; remove foil. Reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees.

Step 2

Cook bacon in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until brown and crisp. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Crumble bacon. Sprinkle bacon, then chilies and green onions over the crust.
Step 3

Mix cheeses together and sprinkle over. Whisk eggs, half and half, and salt in a medium bowl to blend; pour mixture into crust.
Step 4

Bake quiche until knife inserted into center comes out clean, about 35-45 minutes. Let quiche stand 5 minutes. Cut into wedges.
