Essential Ingredients
Hereβs what youβll need to make this delicious dish:
- Pie Crust: Use store-bought for convenience or homemade if youβre feeling adventurous; both work beautifully.
- Eggs: Fresh eggs are essential for the best flavor and textureβchoose organic if possible.
- Heavy Cream: This adds richness; donβt skimp here! You can substitute half-and-half if needed.
- Shredded Cheese: A mix of cheddar and cream cheese gives that gooey goodness we crave.
- Bacon: Cook until crispy for that salty crunch; turkey bacon works too if you prefer less fat.
- Onion: SautΓ© until translucent to bring out sweetness and depthβred onions add color!
- Green Onions: Chopped for garnish; they add freshness and a pop of color at the end.
- Seasonings: Donβt forget salt, pepper, and maybe some hot sauce if youβre feeling spicy!

Letβs Make it together
Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Grab your pie pan and prepare it by either greasing it lightly or laying down your pie crust. If using store-bought crusts, let them sit at room temperature while you prepare the filling.
Crisp Up That Bacon: Chop your bacon into small pieces and cook them in a skillet over medium heat until they turn deliciously crispy. This should take about 7-10 minutes. Once done, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
SautΓ© Those Onions: In the same skillet (with some bacon grease left behind), toss in chopped onions and sautΓ© over medium heat until theyβre translucent and fragrantβabout 5 minutes should do it.
Whisk Away: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until fully combined. Season with salt and pepper according to taste. If you like heat, feel free to add some hot sauce here!
Add Cheese & Bacon: Stir in shredded cheddar cheese (and cream cheese if using) along with those crispy bacon bits and sautΓ©ed onions. Mix well until everything is coated in that eggy goodness.
Pour & Bake: Pour this glorious mixture directly into your prepared pie crust. Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes or until slightly puffed up and golden brown on top. Youβll know itβs ready when it passes the jiggle test!
Let cool slightly before slicing so you donβt burn your tongue off because trust meβthe anticipation is real!
Enjoy your slice of Mississippi Sin Quiche with family or friendsβor keep it all to yourself because we wonβt judge! Itβs too good not to savor every bite.
Now go aheadβmake this delicious quiche today! You wonβt regret it; I promise!
