Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
2
Place the refrigerated pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and gently press it into the bottom and up the sides. Prebake the crust for 10 minutes until it is slightly hardened but not browned.
3
While the crust is baking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped turkey bacon and sliced red onion. Sauté until the bacon is crispy and the onions are caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a dish to cool slightly.
4
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, milk, shredded parmesan cheese, basil, thyme, mustard powder, salt, and pepper. Make sure everything is well combined.
5
Stir in the cooled bacon and onion mixture into the egg mixture.
6
Once the pie crust has finished prebaking, pour the egg, cheese, bacon, and onion mixture into the crust, spreading evenly.
7
Arrange the sliced tomatoes on top of the quiche, overlapping slightly for an aesthetically pleasing look.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the quiche is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
9
Allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
