Cheesy Bacon, Onion and Kale Quiche

This Cheesy Bacon, Onion and Kale Quiche is something a little unexpected. Bacon and Kale are such a delicious combo. Add to that some cheese, red onion, eggs and an oyster cracker crust and you’ve got a winning combination of flavors. This hearty quiche is perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Do you watch the show Chopped on The Food Network? I am obsessed with that show and was thrilled when Sargento Cheese asked me to partner with them and take the Chopped at Home Challenge.

As an at-home cook cooking, participating in something like Sargento’s Chopped at Home Contest can be both exciting and wee bit intimidating. I’m always up for a fun challenge though! Are you?

Cheesy Bacon, Onion and Kale Quiche Recipe

My Chopped at Home Contest Ingredients:

Sargento® Chef Blends 4 State Cheddar
Kale
Oyster Crackers
Bacon

My mind immediately went to a kale salad when I saw these ingredients, but I pushed myself to come up something a little different. Cheesy Bacon, Onion and Kale Quiche is what I came up with, and it’s so delicious. I have to give myself a little pat on the back for this one.

Cheesy Bacon, Onion and Kale Quiche

Ingredients:

2 cups oyster crackers
6 tablespoons melted butter
1/2 cup Sargento® Chef Blends 4 State Cheddar

4 large eggs
1 cup half-and-half cream
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp nutmeg
4 slices bacon, chopped
1 cup sliced red onions
baby kale (8 cups, packed)
1 cup Sargento® Chef Blends 4 State Cheddar

Directions:

Prepare the crust. Using a food processor, finely grind oyster crackers. To the cracker crumbs add the melted butter and 1/2 cup Sargento cheese. Mix these ingredients together until smooth. Press mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a pie plate. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat, cook until almost crispy, set aside. Pour off all but 1 tbsp fat. Add onions and saute for 3 minutes or until onions are lightly browned. Add kale and saute for 2 minutes or until fully wilted. Remove from the heat.

In a large bowl, beat eggs with cream until uniform, and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Add the bacon, onion and kale mixture and stir until combined. Stir in 1 cup Sargento® Chef Blends 4 State Cheddar Cheddar.

Pour mixture into prepared pie shell and spread into an even layer. Use a fork to lightly stir, making sure that liquid is well distributed.

Cheesy Bacon, Onion and Kale Quiche

I have only ever eaten kale salad before and am loving how it tastes baked into this quiche. I love that I don’t feel guilty when I am eating this for lunch. The quiche refrigerates and reheats very well, so you can enjoy it for several days.
