This Puff Pastry Breakfast Quiche is a simple, speedy twist on a classic quiche. A sheet of puff pastry is rolled onto a baking tray, topped with cheese, bacon and an egg-cream mixture for a delicious, flaky breakfast or brunch option.

A traditional Bacon and Onion Quiche is wonderful for a leisurely breakfast or brunch, but it can be time consuming. This puff pastry version is much faster: it uses ready-made puff pastry, minimal ingredients, and requires no long setting time while still delivering that satisfying quiche flavor.

What This Breakfast Pastry Is Like

• Difficulty – Very easy. With a few pantry staples this comes together quickly and can be ready in about 40 minutes.
• Taste – If you enjoy quiche, you’ll like this: it tastes like a thinner quiche with a flaky pastry base and smoky bacon notes.
• Serving – The recipe fills one sheet pan. I usually cut it into 12 equal pieces, but you can adjust portion size as needed.

Ingredients

• Eggs – Provide the filling’s texture and classic egg flavor.
• Cream – Heavy cream makes the filling rich and silky; you can substitute lighter dairy if desired.
• Seasonings – Salt and black pepper keep the flavor simple and balanced.
• Pastry – Ready-to-roll puff pastry from the freezer or fridge section makes this quick and easy.
• Cheese – Sharp cheddar works well, but other cheeses are fine too (see substitutions).
• Bacon – Cooked and crumbled for texture and smoky flavor.
• Fresh chives – Add a mild onion-like brightness to finish the quiche.

NOTE The full ingredient amounts are listed in the recipe card at the end of the post.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven – Heat to 375°F (190°C). Line a rimmed baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Whisk eggs and cream – In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, salt and black pepper until fully combined.
3. Roll pastry – Roll the puff pastry onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it to the edges and up the sides to form a shallow rim.
4. Add toppings – Spread the cheese and crumbled bacon evenly over the pastry, sprinkle with chives, then pour the egg mixture over everything.
5. Bake – Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden, puffed and the filling is set.
6. Serve – Let cool about 5 minutes, then cut into pieces and serve warm.

Recipe Tips

• Handling puff pastry – Puff pastry is easiest to roll and shape when it’s cold. Keep it refrigerated until you’re ready to use it.
• Cooking bacon – Baking bacon on a tray gives consistent results and easy cleanup. Bake at 375°F (190°C) on a lined tray for about 15 minutes, then crumble.
• Press pastry to the rim – Press the pastry all the way to the tray edges and form a small rim to prevent the egg mixture from spilling over.

Substitutions

• Heavy cream – Use half-and-half, light cream or milk for a lighter filling; the texture will be slightly less rich.
• Cheddar cheese – Try Gouda, Havarti, mozzarella, Parmesan or any cheese you prefer to change the flavor profile.
• Bacon – Substitute cubed ham, turkey bacon or omit for a vegetarian version.
• Chives – Replace with finely diced onion, thinly sliced leeks, spring onions or scallions.

Serving & Storage

• Serving – Serve this quiche with a light salad, fruit or citrus salad for a balanced brunch. It’s a good option for holidays like Easter or Mother’s Day.
• Storage and reheating – Best fresh, but you can make it a day ahead. Store covered in the refrigerator. To reheat, warm pieces on a baking tray in a 350°F (180°C) oven for about 10 minutes.
