Ranch Bacon Potato Quiche – Just like eating a breakfast burrito stuffed into a pie crust. Made with Monterey Jack cheese, potatoes, bacon, and ranch seasoning. Your family will love this hearty start to the day.
I love making this quiche into a complete breakfast by serving it with this Kiwi Berry Fruit Salad and healthy Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins.

If you have been following A Dash of Sanity for sometime you will know that our family has recently obsessed with quiche. Wait, let me correct that I have been, so of course that is what they are eating. I love that you can fill up this classic egg dish with really any of your favorite ingredients and have a deliciously hearty meal.
Our local hospital is known for their amazing breakfast burritos, like award-winning breakfast burritos. While my daughter and I were there the other day for an x-ray {she broke her arm while doing a headstand}, we grabbed one of these mouthwatering burritos. Not only were they what I remembered them being from having my last baby there, but they were only $3 and some change.
These burritos are not little by any means and they are stuffed to the brim and smothered in green chile. Oh, so yummy! We got our filled with bacon, potatoes, and of course cheese. This burrito eating experience inspired this quiche. While I didn’t have time to whip up some green chile I did open the cupboard to see the bottle of Ranch seasoning. And since we love Ranch Breakfast Potatoes, I thought hmmm….why not?
Combining 3 our favorite ways to start the day in one dish: bacon, Ranch, potatoes, and cheese – this dish was bound to be a winner. And it is. All of the kids love it and it happens to be my new favorite {although I think I say that with every quiche}.
Can’t wait for you to try this Ranch Bacon Potato Quiche and hope that you enjoy it as much as my family does! XOXO San

-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
-
Roll out pie crust and place into pie pan.

Cook bacon and roughly chop into crumbles, set aside.

Add potatoes, bacon, and cheese into the egg mixture and pour into pie crust.

Sprinkle remaining ranch seasoning over the top of the quiche.

Place in preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes. Then reduce heat, leaving the pie in the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for an additional 35 minutes. When it is done the top of the quiche will begin to turn a nice golden brown.
-
Remove from oven and allow to sit 5-10 minutes before slicing & serving.

My family would love this quiche for breakfast….anything with bacon! Thanks for linking to my muffins!
Could you do it with puff pastry?
I made this tonight and it was delicious! I happened to have a little green onion left over from another recipe ..I chopped some up fine with my kitchen shears for a little added color and flavor :)..I will definitely be making this again:)
How many calories would a slice of this have? Thank you.
I don’t provide this information but there are many online sources including these: https://www.myfooddiary.com/ and https://www.myfitnesspal.com/ – San
Could you freeze this quiche after baking it?
Yes, just bake it first and I would even go as far as slicing it too and then freeze – really easy to just defrost & reheat for a deliciously easy meal. Hope this helps. xo San
