Instructions

  1. Bake Pastry Shell: Prick pastry shell a couple of times with fork. Bake pastry shell for 7 minutes at 350 F. Shell can be baked frozen (no need to thaw).

  2. Microwave: Microwave bacon strips according to package instructions (Note 1), about 5 minutes. Microwave broccoli until tender, about a few minutes; drain with paper towel. Ensure that broccoli is dry before adding to quiche (Note 2).

  3. Assemble: Scatter a third of pepper jack and cheddar cheese mix onto pastry shell. Distribute broccoli. Add another third of pepper jack and cheddar cheese mix. Crumble bacon and spread on top. Scatter scallions. Add remainder of pepper jack and cheddar cheese mix over pie. Beat eggs, milk, basil, and pepper together; evenly pour on top. Decorate top of pie with sliced tomatoes.

  4. Bake: Bake pie at 350 F for 50 minutes or until starting to brown. Cool for 20 minutes before cutting into it.

NOTES & TIPS


(1) Microwaving Bacon. I microwaved the bacon with paper towels to help soak up the grease.

(2) Dry Broccoli. It's important that the broccoli isn't wet and is dry, otherwise your quiche will turn out watery.
