Ingredients
- 1/2 15 oz. pkg. refrigerated pie crusts

- Whisk together eggs, cream, and milk. Add salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Carefully pour egg mixture into crust. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and a dash of ground red pepper.

Notes
- If you’re using homemade dough, be sure to blind bake the crust for a few minutes before adding the filling.
- Pay attention to how you layer the ingredients for best results. Pouring the egg mixture over the other ingredients keeps them scattered throughout the filling (instead of floating along the top). It also allows you to whisk the eggs and milk into a nice, smooth mixture.
- Bake on a lower rack in the oven to help the crust brown along the bottom.
- Allow the bacon and cheese quiche to cool for about 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
