  • Cook the bacon until crisp. Remove the bacon from the pan, leaving about 1 Tablespoon fat in the pan. Pour off any remaining. Let the bacon drain on paper towels. Add green onions, peppers, and corn to the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until slightly soft, about 4 to 5 minutes. Let cool slightly

  • Roll out the pie crust on a floured board. Roll into a circle and transfer to a pie plate. Trim the crust, tuck under, and crimp. Or you can make individual quiche. I did these for the kids. I found small disposable pie tins at the grocery store.

  • Top with both cheeses. I like to use at least two types of cheese, I think that it adds a lot more flavor and I like the gentle kick from the peppers. I'm a cheese on my cheese kind of girl.

  • To make the custard, add the eggs to a blender or large measuring bowl (I use a batter bowl). Pour in cream or half-and-half, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and cayenne. Blend until frothy, about 2 minutes.
