I call this quiche “weeknight” quiche because I use store bought pie crust. It cuts the preparation time in half and if you buy a good brand such as Pillsbury, the quality is excellent. For weekend brunch quiche, I almost always make my own crust, but after a day of work, feeding, bathing, reading to and putting two young boys to bed – the last thing I have time or my wife has patience for is cutting butter into flour. The ingredients in this quiche are pantry staples in my house (and yours too, I hope!), so even if you come home with no idea of what to make, I’m pretty sure you can find these or variation of these ingredients to put together this recipe. Feel free to use whatever veggies you want, just be sure to saute them to draw out the extra moisture. Cheese types are totally up to you as well.
Standard pantry ingredients allow you to throw this quiche together in no time.
Bacon, cheese and mushroom mixture added…I love sauteed mushrooms and bacon – in this quiche or in a big bowl.
Egg mixture goes in…
Hot out of the oven, golden brown and delicious!
Money shot!

This looks absolutely delicious! If there’s egg bacon, and mushroom in something, I’m there!
Thanks, Marcie! I agree – bacon and mushrooms together is divine.
This looks real good, I love those mushrooms in here! Going to give this a try!
Awesome – hope you like it!
Bake at what temperature and for how long?
Hi Sharon –
Can’t believe I missed that in the post! My apologies – 350 degrees for about 30 – 40 minutes until crust is golden brown and eggs are set in the middle. Thanks for reading and reaching out.
