Fig, Goat Cheese and Bacon Quiche
This quiche combines smoky bacon, tangy goat cheese, and fresh figs in a simple egg custard and flaky crust. It’s an easy, flavorful option for brunch or a make-ahead breakfast, with a touch of sweetness from a drizzle of honey. The figs and warm flavors make it especially fitting for early fall mornings.
Ingredients
- 9-inch pie crust
- Vital Farms Eggs
- cup whole milk
- cup heavy whipping cream
- salt and pepper, (to taste)
- teaspoon ground nutmeg
- tablespoons fresh chives, (chopped)
- fresh figs, (sliced into thirds)
- slices bacon, (cooked and crumbled)
- ounces goat cheese, (crumbled)
- honey or hot honey, (to drizzle)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 °F.
Par-bake the pie crust by baking it without any filling for 12-14 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
Prepare the filling by adding eggs, milk, heaving whipping cream, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and chives to a bowl. Mix until ingredients are well combined.
Assemble the quiche by adding the cooked bacon evenly to the bottom of the crust, followed by half of the goat cheese, and most of the sliced figs.
Pour the egg mixture over the filling and into the pie crust. Top with the remaining goat cheese and fig slices.
Bake for 45-50 minutes. Top with foil if the crust begins to darken too quickly.
Let the quiche rest for 10-15 minutes. Drizzle with honey or hot honey before serving.
