Steps

  • 1

    Heat oven to 350°F. Place pie crust in 9-inch glass pie plate as directed on box for One-Crust Filled Pie.

  • 2

    In medium bowl, mix half-and-half, eggs, salt and pepper; set aside. Layer bacon, cheeses and onion in crust-lined plate. Pour egg mixture over top.

  • 3

    Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand 5 minutes; cut into wedges.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1

    Sprinkle chopped green onion on top of baked quiche for a pop of color and flavor.
  • tip 2

    Try slicing the bacon slices crosswise into ½-inch pieces before cooking them in a skillet until nice and crisp. Drain the pieces well on paper towels—no need to do anything more than layer them in the pie plate.
  • tip 3

    Use a wire whisk to beat the half-and-half with the eggs, after seasoning them. A whisk is the most efficient way to really blend them together, creating a custard mixture that will meld well with the rest of the ingredients.
  • tip 4

    When you unroll the pastry dough, lay it out on lightly floured surface, pastry cloth or silicone baking mat. Roll the dough out so that it's about 1 inch larger in diameter. Sprinkle a little flour in bottom of the pie plate; fold the dough in half, lift it up and lay on half of the dish. Unfold the dough and gently ease the pastry into the pan.
