Why This Recipe Works

• The use of a high-quality pie crust provides a flaky, buttery base for the quiche.
• The combination of heavy cream and eggs ensures a moist and creamy texture.
• The combination of Gruyère cheese, bacon, and ham adds a rich and savory flavor profile.

Key Ingredients

For the best results, use high-quality ingredients that are rich in flavor. We recommend using a good-quality Gruyère cheese, such as Beecher’s Handmade Cheese or Kerrygold. For the bacon, look for a thick-cut, smoked bacon that’s cooked until crispy.

In addition to the ingredients listed, make sure to have on hand some fresh thyme and a pie shield for the quiche while it bakes.
