Looks so fresh and tasty!
Thank you! 🙂
Love this! I made the crust using some leftover pastry dough, and it paired wonderfully with the bacon-cheese-egg filling. The dish looked so fancy yet it was surprisingly easy to pull off. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Pastry dough sounds delightful for this recipe. I’m happy to hear you liked it!

What a treat! I haven’t made a quiche in forever, so we did this for dinner and it was so scrumptions, and the leftovers heated up really great in my air fryer.
So glad you enjoyed it and I’m happy to hear that it reheated well in the air fryer.

Sounds fancy but it’s super simple! Perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Delightfully versatile and tasty. Definitely a go-to recipe now!
I’m so happy to hear that it was simple to make! 🙂
This looks like a good recipe, I intend to try it. When I need shredded Swiss for a recipe, I go to the deli and ask for a chunk of it so I can shred it myself. I NEVER buy shredded cheese because of the cellulose (cardboard, basically) added to it. Doesn’t melt well! At the moment I have no Swiss so I’ll review this after I make it!
Hi Aimee,
I agree about the cheese; I’ve been shredding mine with my Kitchen Aid shredder attachment.
I can’t wait for you to try this recipe! 🙂
Best,
Heidi (aka Lulu)
