Instructions
Prep
Spray a pie pan with nonstick cooking spray, set aside.
Make crust
Start by mixing the oyster crackers with the garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley.
Then, crush the crackers into a fine crumb mixture. You can achieve this by putting the crackers and seasoning into a ziplocked back and using a rolling pin or meat tenderizer to crush them.
Proceed to pour the seasoned cracker crumbs into the bottom of your greased pie pan. Drizzle with the olive oil.
Meat and veggies
Fry up your bacon in a pan or you can cook in the oven. I personally love to bake my bacon, 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes give me perfect crispy bacon. Once the bacon is done, chop up into bite size pieces and set aside.
In a skillet on the stove, over medium heat, cook the peppers and onions for about 10 minutes. If you are using the frozen blend this will save so much time and energy. If you are opting for the fresh veggies chop them into small bitesize pieces and cook until done.
Wash your kale and pat it dry with a paper towel. Rip or cut into small pieces, then add it to the veggie mix on the stove.
Next, add in the prepared cooked bacon too, stirring until well combined.
Make egg mixture
In a large bowl, combine the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
Stir well and add in 1 ½ cups of cheese.
Combine ingredients
Add your bacon/kale/veggie mixture into the cheese/egg mixture and stir until well combined.
Bake
Proceed to pour the mixture into your prepared pie pan and bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes or until the center is set.
When the quiche has finished baking, top with additional cheese.
Let the quiche sit for 5-10 minutes before serving to cool and thicken. Enjoy!
Notes
This easy quiche recipe is loaded with cheese, meat, and veggies, it makes for an incredible one-dish meal!
