Little pies with bacon and omelette Bacon Wrapped Quiche

Today I'd like to share with you one of my favorite recipes. It's very quick and simple and so I find it very useful and I use it often.

Hi Lolocca! I understand exatly what you said, but we would probably say it like this: "It's quick and easy and I make it often."

With it you'll be able to prepare small little pies with bacon and omelette. I usually prepare them as an appetizer when we have some guests (one for each), or as a second course for we three alone when it's just the three of us (two or three for each as one's wish per person).

Hi again! We call these little pies "quiche(s)" (we love our French words!). And because you're using the bacon as a crust you can say that they're "wrapped," "crusted" or "with a bacon crust." 

First things first, the ingredients. To prepare 12 pies you'll need:
- 24 thin slices of bacon
- 5 eggs
- grated cheese: 3/4 spoonful (I usually make them use 5/6 spoonful or even more because I like them with lots of cheese, but the original recipe say 3/4 spoonful)
- 200 ml fresh cream OMG the metric system... really hard for an American! :-)
- 1 sprig of basil
- salt and pepper to taste

1 standard cupcake tray or 12 baking cups (aluminium or ceramic).

You had this information listed later in your recipe, but it's nice to see this infomation up with the ingredients. It's just easier that way!

Warm Pre-heat your oven to 180°C before all.

We are always told to "Pre-heat your oven to ____ degrees."

In a bowl mix together the eggs, cream, grated cheese, salt and pepper. When you're done, Add some hand-torn Basil leaves to flavor your omelette to taste and mix some more.

It would be better to have a muffins/cupcakes baking tin. If you don't have it, you can also use aluminium or ceramic baking cups. I moved this higher in your recipe. :-)

Line each cup with two crisscrossed slices of bacon placed cross-like. Folding up the excess, try to cover as much of the cup's surface as you can. You won't need to grease the cup because the bacon's own grease will suffice to prevent the pie quiche from sticking to it.

Divide the omelette mixture into the twelve cups and place your pies quiches in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes. When the surface of the omelettes quiches become will be golden-brown take them out.

I suggest to serve serving them when while they are still warm but in the summer you may want to try them once they have cooled down.

Here you could also say "chilled," but "chilled" implies that you have taken them out of the oven and placed them into the refrigerator so that they are cold. I'm not sure if that's what you mean or not.

For a lighter version of the pies you can use speck instead of bacon but, please, remember to oil grease the cups a little in this case when doing so.

Enjoy!

This sounds so good! I think I'll have to try your recipe tonight! And I hope I didn't talk to much. I love to cook. :-)

Seems yummy!  

We generally use a dash instead of a back slash for saying 'to'  so for example:  12 - 15 minutes)
