Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Once done, remove from heat and place the bacon on a paper towel to absorb excess grease. Once cooled, chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces and transfer it to a medium mixing bowl.
3
Chop the scallions finely, including both the white and green parts. Add the scallions to the bowl with bacon. Then, add the shredded cheddar cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
4
Evenly distribute the bacon and cheese filling between the two unbaked pie shells, spreading it out to ensure an even filling.
5
In the same bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined. Season with remaining salt and black pepper. Gradually pour the egg mixture over the filling in each pie shell, ensuring the liquid covers all the ingredients.
6
Carefully place the quiches in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the custard is set in the center.
7
Once baked, remove from the oven and let the quiches cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm, and enjoy the delicious flavors!
