  • 2

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    One frozen Pillsbury™ Deep Dish Pie Crust may be substituted for the refrigerated Pillsbury™ Pie Crust in this Bacon and Cheese Quiche recipe. To use, place cookie sheet on oven rack and heat oven as directed. Prepare filling and follow directions on package for One-Crust Filled Pie.
  • tip 2
    Garnish your baked Bacon and Cheese Quiche with a sprinkle of chopped green onion.
  • tip 3
    Cut the bacon slices crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces, then cook them in a skillet until perfectly crisp. Set the bacon pieces on paper towels to soak up any grease before layering them in the pie plate.
  • tip 4
    Use a wire whisk to beat the half-and-half in with the eggs after seasoning them. This is the most efficient way to blend the two together, creating a custard mixture that melds well with the other ingredients.

If you’ve ever wondered how quiche came to be such a symbol of elevated dining, you might be surprised to know that cooks throughout Europe were using eggs and cream in pastry at least as early as the 13th century. Some food historians trace the word “quiche” to the German word “kuchen,” or cake. It was the French who took the idea of a quiche recipe and made it uniquely their own.
