Ingredients
- 1 pie shell, pre-baked
- 4 large eggs ๐ฅ
- 1/3 cup half-and-half cream ๐ฅ
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped chives ๐ฟ

Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven:
Begin by preheating your oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC). This will ensure that your quiche bakes evenly and develops a lovely golden crust. ๐ฅ -
Prepare the Egg Mixture:
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half cream, finely chopped chives, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined. The chives will add a fresh, herby note that complements the rich flavors of the cheese and bacon. ๐ฅ -
Assemble the Quiche:
Sprinkle the shredded Jarlsberg cheese evenly across the bottom of your pre-baked pie shell. This layer of cheese will melt and create a deliciously gooey base. Next, carefully pour the egg mixture over the cheese, ensuring it spreads evenly. Finally, sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the top, adding a savory crunch to each bite. ๐ง๐ฅ -
Bake:
Place the assembled quiche in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean, indicating that the quiche is fully cooked. ๐ฐ๏ธ -
Serve:
Once baked, remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture. Enjoy this delicious quiche with a side of crisp bread, a fresh green salad, and some seasonal fruit. ๐๐ฅ๐
