Real men DO eat Quiche! It’s frugal, a great way to disguise leftovers, keeps well and reheats well, freezes well and has a ton of variations. Of all the basic recipes I have ever tried, this gets the most compliments, try it and enjoy!

Cheddar, Chive & Bacon Quiche

22 Smart Points Per Serving

You will need:

• 3 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups half-and-half cream
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 6 ounces cheese, shredded cheddar
• 2 cups of add-ins (diced bacon and chives, with more cheddar cheese)
• 1 (9 inch) unbaked pie shell

Preheat oven to 425*, pop pie shell in for 5-10 minutes to crisp it up a bit.

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and half-and-half. Season with salt, white pepper and nutmeg. Place shredded cheese in the pie shell with the 2 cups of add-ins.

Pour egg mixture over cheese.

Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350*, and bake for 25 minutes, or until crust is golden and filling is set.

Allow to set 5 to 10 minutes before serving, then rip into it like a monkey on a cupcake!
