Ingredients

  • 1 9-inch deep dish frozen pie crust
  • 4 medium Roma Tomatoes sliced 1/4-inch slices
  • 1 cup chopped turkey
  • 6 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 medium green onions chopped
  • 2 Tbsp diced pimento well drained (optional)
  • 1½ tsp garlic salt
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 Tbsp Panko Bread crumbs
  • 1 Tbsp butter melted
  • 1 Tbsp chopped parsley

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the frozen pie shell on a baking sheet. Prick the bottom several times using a fork then set aside.
  • Lay the tomato slices on a paper towel in a single layer and very lightly sprinkle with salt. Press another paper towel on top. Sit for 10 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the bottom of the pie shell with 1/3 of the shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Top with turkey and bacon and 1/3 of the Borden shredded cheese.
  • In a medium size mixing bowl whisk together the eggs, cream, green onion, pimento, garlic salt, onion powder, Dijon, black pepper and nutmeg until fully combined.
  • Pour carefully over the turkey and bacon making sure it's evenly distributed. Sprinkle the top with the remaining shredded cheese.
  • Arrange the tomato slices over the shredded cheese. (You may need 14-16 slices total depending on how they're arranged)
  • In a small bowl toss the Parmesan and Panko with the melted butter. Sprinkle over the tomatoes.
  • Carefully place into the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes or until the center is set when gently shaken and the top is golden brown. Cover the edges of the crust with aluminum foil, if needed to prevent over browning.
  • Allow to cool for 15-20 minutes before cutting. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Cheese Substitutions: Other varieties of cheese that would work well in quiche is swiss cheese, gruyere or sharp white cheddar cheese.
  • Turkey Substitution: You don't have to wait until the holidays to make this yummy quiche. You can use leftover holiday turkey or Deli turkey in this recipe, especially, if you're planning a kentucky derby party in the spring.
  • Herbs: You can garnish the top with fresh parsley or chives.
