- 3 cups whole milk
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place your pie pan of choice on top of a baking sheet. This will make for easier handling when moving it in and out of the oven.
- On a well-floured surface, roll out the pie dough until it is 1-2 inches larger in diameter to your pie dish.
- Place pie crust into the dish, press firmly along the bottom and sides to adhere to the pan. You can crimp edges if you wish.
- Layer the sliced potatoes onto the bottom the pie crust.
- Brush with olive oil and sprinkle a pinch of kosher salt and pepper on top.
- Bake for 12 minutes.
- While the pie crust and potatoes are baking, whisk together 12 eggs, milk, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
- Remove quiche from the oven.
- Layer bacon, cheese and green onion on top of the potatoes.
- Pour the egg mixture over the top.
- Bake for 50-70 minutes until the quiche is cooked through. You will know it is done when the middle is firm and dry.
- Let cool for 30 minutes before slicing.
