Quiche makes an easy, delightful dinner if you’re home alone and you don’t have to feed a meat-and-potatoes-loving husband and kids who scoff at anything out of the ordinary. I pair it with my favorite green salad and a chilly glass of pinot grigio. I’m happy, I’m full, and I’m not feeling like I slaved all day in the kitchen to prepare dinner. Quiche is also one of those wonderful dishes that Moms seem to enjoy, which is why we serve it up for brunch on Mother’s Day as well.

How to make Swiss and Cheddar Quiche:

The full, printable recipe is at the end of this post. The crust is placed into the pie plate and the edges crimped. It’s baked for just a few minutes, then topped with green onions, bacon, cheese, eggs, whipping cream,, salt, red and white peppers and nutmeg. More cheese is added on top! Then it’s baked again until set.

I use Swiss and extra-sharp cheddar for this quiche.  The extra-sharp part is important. It really adds a deep flavor to the quiche.  And if you can locate Applewood- Smoked Bacon, that’s the other key for making this quiche extra-special.

Quiche is quite a delicious meal to make. It’s one we don’t really think about all that often, but once you try this Swiss and Cheddar Quiche recipe, you’ll be thinking about it often. Serve with a fresh fruit salad. Enjoy!
