This quiche features traditional ingredients with a kick from the jalapeño pepper. Remember quiche is not just for breakfast, it is great for lunch and dinner too. Round it out with a side salad for a quick and tasty lunch or dinner.

Ingredients
1 pre-made pie crust thawed
1/3 cup of finely diced yellow onions
2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
1 Jalapeño pepper seeds and stem removed and finely diced
1 Roma tomato finely diced
1 – 16 oz. package of low sodium bacon
6 eggs
1 cup of half and half
1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt
1 cup of shredded Adams Reserve brand New York Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese or your favorite cheddar cheese
Technique
Place and mold pie crust into a deep pie dish about 2 – 3 inches deep. Don’t precook. If using a deeper pie dish, extra eggs and cream may be needed. In a large skillet over medium high heat cook bacon until crispy, remove and place onto a paper towel to remove any excess grease. In a medium sized skillet heat vegetable oil over medium high heat and add the onions and sauté until translucent. Add jalapeños and sauté for about a minute. Add diced tomato and sauté for another minute. Remove from heat and set aside. Chop or crumble bacon into small pieces and set aside. In a large bowl using a mixer, beat eggs until fluffy. Add half and half, salt and onion, jalapeño and tomato mixture, crumbled bacon and shredded Adams Reserve brand New York Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese. Using a spoon, mix until evenly combined. Pour into to the pie crust and bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees for about 30 minutes or when a butter knife is inserted it comes out clean. Allow to cool for about 5 – 10 minutes before serving.
