Chicken, broccoli florets, cheddar cheese and bacon baked in a savory custard over a flaky pastry crust.
A hearty, dinner-sized quiche that will comfort you from the inside out.

This is a great way to transform leftovers or a rotisserie chicken into something way more delicious. Tender bites of chicken and broccoli surrounded by eggs, heavy cream Parmesan and cheddar cheese plus crispy bacon plus a buttery crust?
All together better than the sum of its parts.

We’ve all heard the saying “real men don’t eat quiche”. I don’t know why or where the saying came from but if you top your quiche with crispy bacon there isn’t a man on earth capable of resisting.
I can almost guarantee it.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Melt the butter in a small skillet and saute the onion and garlic until tender seasoning well with salt and pepper.
- In a large bowl mix the chicken, broccoli, both cheeses and onion/garlic together. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Fit a 9-inch deep dish pie dish with the pastry crust. Add the filling and spread out evenly.
- Whisk the eggs, heavy cream and milk together. Slowly pour over the filling. Use a spoon to make sure the filling and egg mixture is distributed evenly. Place the bacon slices over top and push them down gently into the filling.
- Bake 50 - 60 minutes until center is set and top is lightly golden. If the crust begins to darken too much place aluminum foil loosely over the top.
- Allow to cool and set 10 minutes before slicing.

Thanks Zerrin! So happy to hear from you! I missed you!
Is it possible to make this ahead of time and freeze it? Sounds delicious for a brunch baby shower I’m throwing this spring…
My daughter just made a similar quiche earlier this week. I might have tried it had she not used goat cheese. This looks pretty good except for the onions and garlic. I’ll have to give this a try.
What a delicious quiche! I love it, compliments… it’s so delicious..yummy! ♥ :D
Have a nice weekend.
