Why You're Going To Love This Recipe
- Freezer-Friendly - This recipe freezes really well so it's a great idea to make one on the weekend and freeze it in individual portions for a 'grab and run' lunch on the go.
- Versatile - This is a really versatile recipe, so you can substitute the bacon for salami, add in a bit of feta, baby spinach or sun-dried tomatoes, or even use leftover roast chicken and corn.
- Cheats Version - I like to use a basic olive oil pastry for this recipe - which is incredibly simple to make in the Thermomix. But if you're running short on time, you can always grab a pre-made pastry shell from the supermarket or use 2 sheets of defrosted shortcrust pastry.
What You Need
5 basic ingredients are required to make our Thermomix Egg & Bacon Quiche recipe!
Please scroll to the bottom of the post for ingredient quantities and the full detailed method.
- Pastry - you can either make a batch of our olive oil pastry using this recipe or you can use 2 sheets of defrosted shortcrust pastry to save time.
- Eggs - use large eggs (approx 60g each)
- Bacon - choose a less fatty bacon (like shortcut instead of streaky) to avoid excess oil in the quiche.
- Cheese - I recommend using a combination of cheddar and parmesan, but you can use all cheddar if you prefer.
- Milk - or substitute for cream for a richer and creamier quiche.

FAQs
No! You can use 2 sheets of defrosted shortcrust pastry instead (you'll still need to blind bake it though). However, homemade pastry is far superior to pastry sheets, so definitely make your own if you have time.
This stops it from going soggy when the filling is added and baked. Blind-baking ensures your pastry will be perfectly crispy and flaky.
Sure! It can be baked, cooled then stored in the fridge for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 3 months.

Made this again tonight. Love it when no one complains about what I put in front of hem and when the eat the entire meal (quiche and salad).
Yet another win from thermobliss. Thank you!
Karen says
I love all your recipes. If I add some extra ingredients like corn and spinach, should I up the egg/milk quantity at all?
Sarahg says
This was sensational, but next time I'll roll the pastry thinner, as at 1.5cm thick, there was a thick raw layer.
Karen says
I made this tonight and my husband, who is not a quiche lover at all, ate copious amounts of it and declared it was the best quiche he had ever had!! You've converted him!
Kate says
Do you think this recipe would work as a slab without pastry? Thinking of making it for a party...like a zucchini slice...
Thanks!
Lucy says
Hmm I don't see why not!!! Just make sure it's in a non-stick pan! xx
