This bacon and cheddar quiche is easy enough to make in the heat of competition but sophisticated enough to present to guests around your dinner table. When I was on The Food Network for the second time, I was tasked with making quiche. Chef Richard Blais was the judge of this competition, and despite the many challenges I faced on the show, I made it and he liked it! This is my go-to recipe.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Bake the pie crust for 15 minutes, until lightly browned. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then whisk in the half-and-half, salt, pepper, and scallions. Sprinkle the bacon, cheese, and onion into the baked pie crust and add the egg mixture.
Bake the quiche for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes, then serve, garnished with the thyme.
