How To Make Copycat Cracker Barrel Bacon & Cheddar Quiche Recipe

Step One: Preheat Oven to 375°F (190°C). Place your pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp edges as desired. Precook Bacon until crispy, then chop. Drain on paper towels.

Step Two: Layer the Cheese and Bacon into the pie crust evenly. Whisk Together Eggs, Cream, Milk, and Seasonings in a medium bowl until fully combined.

Step Three: Pour Egg Mixture over the bacon and cheese in the pie crust. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. Cool Slightly, then slice and serve warm!

Copycat Cracker Barrel Bacon & Cheddar Quiche Recipe Tips

• Blind Bake the Crust for 5–7 minutes if using a store-bought crust to avoid a soggy bottom.
• Use Freshly Grated Cheese – It melts smoother and tastes better than pre-shredded.
• Let It Rest – Give the quiche 10 minutes before slicing so it sets up properly.
• Don’t Overbake – A little jiggle in the center is okay; it will firm up as it cools.

Make-Ahead, Storing & Reheating

• Make Ahead: Assemble the quiche up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate until ready to bake.
• Storing: Store leftovers tightly wrapped in the fridge for up to 4 days.
• Freezing: Freeze whole or in slices for up to 2 months. Wrap in foil and place in a freezer bag.
• Reheating: Reheat in the oven at 325°F for 10–15 minutes or microwave individual slices for 1–2 minutes.
