Jalapeno Popper Quiche is the best quiche recipe I make! This amazing quiche recipe packs a wallop of zesty flavor from the jalapenos, nicely calmed by the cream cheese.
Defrost pie crust and prick the entire crust with a fork. I also crimp the sides with a fork for a more “homemade” look.
Bake for 10 minutes and remove from oven. Lower oven temperature to 350°F.
Spread cream cheese on the hot crust. Sprinkle with diced jalapenos and cooked bacon.
In a medium bowl, whisk eggs with half and half, pepper, and salt (if using)
Pour egg mixture on top of bacon and into the crust and bake for 30 minutes, or seems mostly set (I added 5 minutes here).
At 30 minutes, take quiche out of the oven and place jalapeno slices and cheese on top. Return to oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until cheese is browned and quiche is set.
Let stand for 5-10 minutes before cutting and serving. Serve with light sour cream if desired.
