Notes

Recipe Variations:

- Cheese Alternatives: Swiss or gruyere cheese can be used instead of cheddar.

- Sour Cream Swaps: You can use plain Greek yogurt, but sour cream adds the perfect richness with a slight tang. You an also use heavy cream.

- Add Vegetables: Toss in veggies like zucchini, spinach, bell peppers, and tomatoes to this quiche.

- Swap the Bacon: If you don't like bacon, you can substitute sausage, ham, or turkey bacon.

Leftovers: store left-over Quiché, wrap it with foil or plastic wrap in the refrigerator.

How To Freeze: Let the quiche cool to room temperature, then wrap it tightly in plastic or aluminum foil. It can last up to three months in the freezer. When ready to enjoy, you can reheat the quiche directly from frozen. Bake it in the oven at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until heated through.
