This Puff Pastry Breakfast Quiche is an easy take on a traditional quiche. Using puff pastry rolled onto a baking tray and topped with cheese, bacon and an egg mixture for a fantastic quiche taste!

Traditional Bacon and Onion Quiche makes for a wonderful Breakfast or Brunch idea. But it is time consuming (and delicious!), and we don’t always have all that time to make a from scratch quiche. And that’s where this take on a quiche is a great idea. It uses freezer puff pastry, minimal ingredients and there is no waiting time for it to set!

What Is This Breakfast Pastry Like
- Difficulty – I’ll rate this really easy. It uses minimal easy to find ingredients and can be on the table in about 40 minutes.
- Taste – If you love the taste of quiche, it is a breakfast for you. It honestly taste like a thin quiche and the bacon really shines through.
- Serving – This makes one sheet pan sized quiche. I cut mine into 12 equal parts. You could always make yours a smaller serving size if you prefer.

Ingredients
- Eggs – Eggs are the main component in quiche. They are what give it that texture and egg taste.
- Cream – I used heavy cream to mix with the eggs for the quiche filling.
- Seasonings – I simply used salt and black pepper to keep the seasonings simple.
- Pastry – Ready to roll freezer puff pastry. You should be able to find this in the freezer or chiller section of your supermarket.
- Cheese – I used a sharp cheddar cheese for this breakfast quiche. It worked really well.
- Bacon – I cooked and crumbled bacon for this recipe which worked great for texture and flavour.
- Fresh chives – Chives are part of the onion family and add such a wonderful flavour to the quiche.

Instructions
- Preheat oven – Preheat oven to 375 degrees F/190 degrees C. Line a rimmed baking tray with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Whisk eggs and cream – In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, salt and black pepper. Whisk really well until completely combined.
- Roll pastry – Roll out the puff pastry onto the baking sheet. Press the puff pastry to the edges of the baking sheet. Push up the sides a little to create a rim.
- Add toppings – Evenly spread the cheese and bacon over the puff pastry. Sprinkle over the chives. Then evenly pour over the egg mixture.
- Bake – Place in the oven and bake for about 25 minutes or until it’s golden, puffed up and cooked through.
- Serve – Remove from oven and allow to cool for about 5 minutes before cutting into serving sized pieces.






Recipe Tips
- Using Puff Pastry – Puff pastry is easier to work with when it’s cold from the fridge. So, keep it refrigerated until you are ready to roll it out and use it.
- Cooking bacon – I like to cook bacon in the oven on a baking tray. It’s even every single time and easy clean up! Just cook in a preheated 375 degree F/190 degree C oven on a lined baking tray for about 15 minutes.
- Pressing the pastry – It’s important to press your puff pastry right up to the rims of the baking tray. Otherwise, the egg mixture will over spill.

Substitutions
- Heavy cream – Alternatively, you could use half and half, light cream or milk. Keep in mind the filling will be a little less rich if you don’t sue the heavy cream.
- Cheddar cheese – Switch up of the flavour by using Gouda, Harvarti, Mozzarella, Parmesan or any other cheese that you like.
- Bacon – Feel free to use cubed ham, turkey bacon or other meat alternatives. If you prefer to leave it Vegetarian, you can leave it out all together.
- Chives – You could use finely diced onion, finely sliced leeks, spring onions or scallions.

Serving & Storage
- Serving – This is great served alongside the Citrus Salad with a Honey Lime Dressing or the Summer Berry Salad. It would a great Breakfast to keep in mind for Easter or Mother’s Day.
- Storage and reheating – Although this is best served fresh, you can make it the day before. Just store it in an airtight container and keep it in the fridge. To reheat, preheat oven to 350 degrees F/180 degrees C. Place the quiche pieces on a baking tray and warm for about 10 minutes.
