This cheesy Broccoli Cheddar Bacon Quiche could only get better with the addition of bacon. The smoky undertones that bacon gives to the custard is mouthwatering. I’m not sure who started the saying “real men don’t eat quiche” but clearly they didn’t know my family. My boys will dig into a quiche anytime of day and for that I am truly grateful since, I love making them on a regular basis.
My Love of Quiche
I’m not sure if I love them for the ease of preparation or the fact that they are so versatile. Regardless, various versions of quiche seem to find their way onto my kitchen table rather often and subsequently into my recipe archives, as well. This particular version of quiche has a surprise ingredient. Mayonnaise. It’s not a large amount however, it gives a really creamy texture to the custard as well as a slight twist on flavor. Many broccoli casserole recipes include mayonnaise and I can see why as it goes so well with the broccoli and cheddar cheese in this quiche, too..
Helpful Tips
- When making a quiche or pie I recommend that you move it in and out of the oven on a baking sheet. Any size cookie sheet will do, it makes it easier to handle and move from the oven to the counter without breaking the filling in the process and it will also catch any random drips.
- If you need to make this quiche in advance, reheat slices gently in the microwave and you’ll be good to go on a busy day.
- To reheat the whole quiche, place into a 325°F oven covered loosely with foil, baking for 8-10 minutes or just until heated through.

Don’t I need to blind bake my pie shell before pouring in the mixture?
Melissa says
No, you don’t, it’s not necessary.
Barbara says
What can be substituted for mayonnaise?
Melissa says
I wouldn’t recommend a substitution but, you can omit.
Kate says
Would give it 10 stars if I could! I added six pieces of bacon but otherwise followed recipe to a T. Spices were spot on. Just absolutely delicious❤️😁

Thanks so much!
Janet Bradley says
Could I use a finely chopped onion instead of the green onion?
Melissa says
Sure, no problem.
