Ingredients

1 (9-inch) deep dish pie crust, unbaked
2 cups thick shredded sharp cheddar cheese
3/4 to 1 cup crumbled cooked bacon ([or 1 (2.8-ounce) bag precooked real bacon pieces])
1 (4-ounce) jar diced pimentos, well drained
4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F and place a large rimmed baking sheet on the center rack of the oven to preheat with the oven.
Sprinkle the cheese into the bottom of the crust. Evenly sprinkle the drained pimentos over the cheese. Add the crumbled bacon over the top.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the crust - being cautious not to overfill.
Place the quiche on the hot baking sheet and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the quiche is set. Allow to cool for about 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
