Ingredients

  • 1 deep‑dish pie crust (store‑bought or homemade)

  • 6 duck eggs

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella (optional)

  • 6–8 slices thick‑cut bacon, cooked and chopped

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Place the pie crust into a deep‑dish pie pan and crimp the edges.

  3. In a skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Let cool, then chop into pieces.

  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the duck eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.

  5. Sprinkle the bacon and cheeses evenly into the pie crust.

  6. Pour the egg mixture over the top.

  7. Add green onions if desired.

  8. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden.

  9. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.


Tips

  • Duck eggs make the quiche richer and fluffier than chicken eggs.

  • Add spinach, mushrooms, or caramelized onions for extra flavor.

  • This quiche reheats beautifully and freezes well.
