Kale And Bacon Quiche Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Press pie crust into a pie plate.
• Place cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave until warmed, about 10 seconds. Stir cream cheese and milk together in a bowl; stir into beaten eggs. Stir Cheddar cheese into egg mixture; add kale and bacon. Pour egg mixture into the pie crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven until top has golden brown spots and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F
• If pie crust is not pre-baked, use baking beans or weights and pre-bake crust for about 5-10 minutes, then remove from oven.
• Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and saute 3 minutes. Add kale strips, and saute another 3-4 minutes.
• Season this mixture with salt and pepper. Let cool.
• In a mixing bowl, mix eggs, cheese, milk, flour and liquid smoke, if using. Add imitation bacon bits and stir. Add this mixture to the kale, onion and garlic, and pour everything into the pie crust.
• Place quiche in oven and bake for 35-45 minutes or until set and nicely browned on top.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Add the bacon to a 10-inch non-stick skillet and cook over medium-high heat, stirring regularly, until the bacon is crispy, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate.
• In a large bowl, add the eggs, 1/4 cup of water and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Drain off all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat from the skillet. (If the bacon has not rendered enough fat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil instead.) Return the skillet to medium-high and add the sweet potato, 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until the potato is slightly browned and fork tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Add in the kale and a small pinch each of salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 4 minutes. Add the bacon back to the skillet. Turn the heat down to medium-low and add the egg mixture and half of the Cheddar. Using a rubber spatula, start lightly scrambling the eggs. When the edges begin to set, top with the remaining Cheddar and transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake until the egg is set and lightly puffed up, 5 to 7 minutes
• Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Add salt and pepper and cayenne pepper. Set aside. You want the egg mixture to get to room temperature so it doesn't take as long to bake.
• Place the strips of bacon in a large skillet. Turn the heat on to medium-high and cook until crispy or to your desired preference. Remove the bacon and transfer to a plate lined with paper towel to remove any excess grease. Chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
• Using the same skillet you cooked the bacon, drain the excess bacon grease reserving about 1 teaspoon to cook the onions and garlic in. On a medium heat, saute the onions and garlic for 4-5- minutes or until translucent. Then add the chopped kale and cook for another 3-4 minutes until wilted. Set aside.
• First, add the layer of bacon bits to the bottom. Second, add the layer of kale and onions. Grate ¾ cup of cheese, reserving ¼ cup for the top. Sprinkle the cheese over the kale layer. Gently ladle the egg mixture on top.
• Top the egg custard with the remaining ¼ cup of cheese. Put the quiche in the oven and bake for 40-50 minutes or until the egg custard has set. Remove from the oven and set on a wire rack. Let cool for 15-20 minutes. Serve with a side salad and enjoy!
