This bacon rose quiche is so rich and creamy, it will melt in your mouth. It's the best quiche recipe I have ever tried! Bacon slices made into cute roses for the top make this dish perfect for company. Garnish with extra green onions, if desired.

Directions

Instructions Checklist
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

  • Place 10 slices bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crispy and evenly browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and crumble.

  • Heat butter and olive oil in a same skillet over medium heat. Stir in mushrooms and onion. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms and onions are slightly brown and tender, about 8 minutes.

  • Sprinkle mushroom-onion mixture, crumbled bacon, Swiss cheese, Gruyere cheese, and green onions into the pie crust.

  • Whisk eggs slightly in a bowl; beat in cream, 3/4 teaspoon salt, garlic powder, sugar, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper. Pour egg mixture carefully into the pie crust.

  • Thread a toothpick through 1 end of 1 of the remaining bacon slices; roll the bacon around the toothpick to form a rose shape. Repeat with the remaining bacon slices. Arrange bacon roses on top of the quiche.

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

  • Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Continue baking until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 30 minutes more. Cover with aluminum foil if top is getting too brown. Let quiche rest for 10 minutes before cutting.

I definitely made some notes and changes, because when I followed this recipe exactly, I ended up with a fully-cooked quiche, with three pieces of nearly raw bacon shaped like roses, sitting in a pool of bacon grease right in the center of the quiche. The only part of those rosettes that was edible was the top edge of the rosettes. I added at least 20 minutes to the cooking time of the whole quiche just to get the rosettes past raw, which resulted in the top of the quiche being overly browned, even after covering it with aluminum foil to avoid said overbrowning. As another reviewer suggested, it makes more sense to bake the rosettes separately so that the entire slice of bacon is crisper and less raw. Once you finish cooking the rosettes separately, you can slip them off of the toothpicks and just arrange them in the center. This also eliminates the greasy crater in the center. Read More

This quiche was rich and delicious. We made the bacon roses in a mini muffin tin and put then on top at the end. Read More

Delicious! My family asks me to make this recipe all the time. My hubby doesn't like mushrooms so I substitute with chopped spinach and sauteed it with the onions. But when I make it to take to potlucks, I don't vary the recipe. Read More

I believe I will combine the mixture of bacon and mushrooms etc. With the egg mixture prior to putting the mixture into the pie shell. Read More

I absolutely love this recipe. It's so delicious and easy to fix. I did have to increase the cooking time for my oven and I am in high altitude but I did not change the recipe other than the cooking time. Also I found out quickly that I was putting more than 1/4 batter into each of the muffin holders, which was too much and they would flatten out. But as long as they cooked okay they were delicious anyway. Thank you, Aisha! Read More
