1unbaked gluten-free pie crust in a 9-inch pie panI used my easy recipe for Gluten-Free Pie Crust.
1cuphalf-and-half or milkFor dairy-free use unsweetened almond or coconut milk.
4largeeggs, whisked
1/2teaspoonsalt
1/4teaspoonground pepper
1cupcooked chopped gluten-free bacon
1/2cupdiced tomatoes
3tablespoonchopped green onions
1 1/2cupshredded cheddar cheeseFor dairy-free I used Violife cheese shreds.
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a medium-sized bowl whisk the eggs.
Add the half-and-half (or milk), salt, and pepper to the eggs and mix until fully combined. Set aside.
Add the cooked chopped bacon to the bottom of the prepared gluten-free pie crust. Top the bacon with 1 cup of the cheddar cheese. Sprinkle the green onions over the cheese layer.
Pour the egg mixture over top of the filling layers.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup of cheese over the top of the quiche.
Place the quiche on the middle rack and bake for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes cover the quiche loosely with a piece of aluminum foil to keep the crust from getting too brown. (You can also use a pie shield) Bake for another 20-30 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
Let the quiche cool for 5 to 10 before slicing and serving.
Refrigerate leftovers by cover with plastic wrap or albumin foil or in an airtight container.
Reheat leftovers in the microwave.

Notes
You can make the pie crust ahead of time or even freeze it. My tender and flaky pie crust is so worth the extra time of making a homemade crust. For an even easier quiche, go crustless, or try my frittata recipe.
