Bacon and mushroom quiche is an easy quiche recipe filled with crispy fried bacon pieces, hearty mushrooms, and lots of cheese. This quiche is easy to make for a Saturday morning brunch.
Weekends revolve around food for me. I wake up wanting something besides a granola bar or fruit loops for breakfast. This morning, I was craving quiche. Honestly, I was craving pie crust but couldn't justify just baking a pie crust for breakfast. So, I made bacon and mushroom quiche instead!
How to Make Bacon and Mushroom Quiche
Start by cutting up six slices of bacon. I just cut them with scissors right over the pan. Give 'em a swirl and let them fry up over a low flame.
Then get cracking. Crack four eggs into a bowl. Add a few shakes of Tabasco and a ½ teaspoon of creole seasoning or seasoning salt of your choice. Your ability to take spice should dictate how much you add. Add one cup of milk.
Head back to the bacon. Once it is browned to your liking, remove from the pan with a spoon. Put the bacon pieces on a paper towel to soak up the grease. Pour the grease into a small glass bowl. You are going to need that bacon grease in a minute. I chopped up two garlic cloves and a half of a red onion plus had some presliced baby bella mushrooms.
Pour two tablespoons of the bacon grease into the skillet and add onions and garlic. Let sauté for about a minute. Toss in mushrooms. If you don't have bellas, add button or whatever you have. About eight ounces worth. Mix the mushrooms and onions together and sauté on low for 3-4 minutes.
Now, the eggs and milk should be ready to add the goodies. I threw a fist full of cheese into the eggs. Probably about one cup. Stir in the bacon. Then stir in the mushrooms and onions.
What are you making for breakfast this weekend? Got anything for me to drool over?

Thanks for writing such an eaest-o-undsrytand article on this topic.
Thank you.I think we forget to forgive ourselves…and we’re the ones who need to hear it most of all. We try to practice kindness to others and forget to take care of ourselves. Thank you for reminding me and leading me towards the tools to help myself heal.
Burger King is the only burger establishment that has not taken out their trans fats yet. McDonald’s would actually be better for you (as far as trans fats is concerned), and neither of these corporation’s products will compost. McD’s scrapped their composting program as none of their foods will break down. But millions will buy it as they are still lacking the education and the opportunity to see what good food can actually do for you. And our youth (under 50) don’t realize what happens inside: they only see the outside and they’re alive so what’s the problem….
I'm not easily impressed but you've done it with that posting.
I absolutely loved this quiche. I used leeks instead of the onion, added a teaspoon of Dijon mustard and Sicilian pasta sauce, onion powder and a pinch of cayenne. It was really delicious. Thanks for the recipe.
