Bacon and Gruyere Mini Quiche
These mini quiches are light, fluffy, and have the best texture. The crispy bacon and mushroom give it the perfect texture and flavor, you’ll definitely keep making these after trying them.
What kind of bacon should I use?
I use turkey bacon, but use whatever you want! Any kind will work (pork, veggie, etc). It’s whatever you prefer!
Can I use a different type of cheese?
You can, but just be aware that it will change the flavor a lot. So basically, you can use whatever you want but I can’t vouch for what it will taste like!
What kind of milk can I use?
That’s up to you, as long as it’s unsweetened and unflavored! I personally use unsweetened plain almond milk.
Should I make the crust myself?
I don’t and they still taste amazing! If you want to make that, more power to you, but I don’t have a recipe for pie crust, so you’ll have to find that elsewhere.
