This Bacon and Swiss Quiche is a great addition to your breakfast or brunch menu. It’s full of bacon and cheesy goodness and sure to please any crowd.
This Bacon and Swiss Quiche is my take on the Quiche Lorraine. It’s similar to the quiche that I had growing up for holiday breakfasts. We always had quiche and sticky buns for breakfast Christmas morning but quiche doesn’t have to be reserved for a special holiday.
Since it’s relatively easy to make, you really can enjoy quiche for any old Sunday brunch or on lazy Saturday mornings. You could make it with this Gluten Free Waffle Recipe if you really want to win breakfast.
Though, it would be great for your upcoming Easter brunch. You could even try my Gluten Free Ham and Cheese Quiche recipe if you’d like a different take on this recipe.
This quiche is, hands down, my favorite thing for breakfast. Ever. It’s the one thing I could have for the rest of my life for breakfast and never get sick of it.
This Bacon and Swiss Quiche is a little different from a lot of quiche recipes out there. It calls for only a few eggs so the egg/milk custard filling is relatively light.
It’s got a very silky smooth texture to it and it’s FULL of cheese. Wonderful, glorious cheesy cheese. Trying pairing this quiche with my Bacon Wrapped Kielbasa Bites and you’re good to go!
That’s the only way to have quiche – will all the cheese. For easier cutting, let it cool at least 10-15 minutes. I don’t often like to wait that long because I’m super impatient so I always end up cutting into it after only a few minutes.
Which means the quiche isn’t always quite set up and my pieces aren’t as pretty as they could be. But, taste trumps pretty every single time and this is the tastiest quiche around.
Before we get to the recipe, let’s talk about this little blog of mine. This week I’ll be celebrating What The Fork Food Blog’s one year anniversary. Yep, I’ve been around for a year! And we’ll be CELEBRATING. Because, anything that I’ve stuck with for a year (or more) deserves to be celebrated.
Enjoy!

Bacon Swiss Quiche
This Bacon and Swiss Quiche is a great addition to your breakfast or brunch menu. It’s full of bacon and cheesy goodness and sure to please any crowd.
Ingredients
- 1 gluten-free pie crust, par baked*
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and diced
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1 1/2 C milk
- 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
- 2 C shredded swiss cheese
- 1 Tbsp gluten-free all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, milk and salt. In a separate small bowl, combine the swiss cheese and flour until the cheese is coated. Mix the cheese and bacon into the egg mixture and pour into the par-baked pie crust.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour or until the center is set. Oven temperatures vary which is why there is a range for the cooking times. In my oven, the quiche takes about 50-55 minutes.
Notes
I used the Pillsbury gluten free pastry dough found in the refrigerated section at my grocery store.Directions for my par-baked crust can be found [here.

I love quiches. This looks so delicious!
Thanks Melissa!
Anything bacon, anything cheese. Looks fabulous, thanks for a great recipe!
I’d wear that on a shirt – “Anything Bacon, Anything Cheese”. I bet it would be a hit!
Christmas at your house sounds divine! Quiche and cinnamon rolls! I want to come :). And this recipe sounds amazing. I love all the cheesy goodness!
Christmas Day is also my mom’s birthday so it was alway her choice what we had for brunch that day, it was always the same – quiche and sticky buns. Nobody complained 🙂
You had me at bacon! This quiche looks seriously delicious! This is my kind of breakfast.
Thanks Abigail!
Oh man, this sounds amazing. I’m with you–I like ALL THE CHEESE with my quiche! Well, I like all the cheese with just about everything. 🙂
PS Random question–can you tell me what social plug-in you’re using? I love your pink boxes! 🙂
ALL THE CHEESE for everything – lets start a revolution.
I use Ultimate Social Deux from Code Canyon. I’ll probably be switching soon though since it doesn’t have a built in Yum button.
Thanks Sharon! I’ve heard great things about Yummly but haven’t tried it myself, but lots of folks I know are adding Yum buttons.
Happy Happy Anniversary to you!! That definitely calls for a celebration. I love this bacon and swiss quiche. I am often put off by other quiche recipes because of the number of eggs but yours sounds just perfect. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Krystal! It’s definitely not a heavy eggy quiche, it’s super light and fluffy – the best way to have it 🙂
Oh my goodness, this looks amazing! I LOVE quiche. Though I usually make mine crustless – does that still count as quiche? LOL
Looks Delicious! My hubby would love!
What a great option for holiday brunch! I love that this one is so full of cheese. You can never use too much cheese, in my opinion!
You’re right, there’s no such thing as too much cheese!
This looks like a family-pleaser for sure! I’m going to feature it at this weekend’s Savoring Saturdays! Can’t wait to try it out!
Thanks Raia!
I made this for dinner… It was incred! Thanks for sharing!
