Ingredients
For the quiche
- 1 piece pre-made pie crust Store-bought for convenience or homemade
- 2 medium baked potatoes Tender, can use leftovers
- 6 large eggs For custardy texture
- 1 cup milk Whole, skim, or almond milk

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the pie crust: If using a frozen crust, follow package instructions to partially bake it for about 10 minutes.
- Slice the baked potatoes into half-inch rounds and layer them at the bottom of the crust.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk, adding a splash of hot sauce if desired.
- Add the cooked bacon, green onions, cheese, salt, and pepper into the egg mixture, stirring gently until well combined.
- Pour the mixture over the potato layer in the pie crust.
Cooking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until edges are firm and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Let the quiche rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Add cooked veggies like spinach or bell peppers for a health boost. To make vegetarian, skip the bacon and increase veggies or cheese. Different cheeses like feta or gouda can be used.
