Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the quiche.
Assemble Filling Base: Place the cooked bacon, sliced almonds, and both types of shredded cheddar cheeses evenly in the bottom of the frozen deep-dish pie crust.
Prepare Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the large eggs, heavy cream, hot sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder until fully combined and smooth.
Combine and Pour: Pour the egg mixture gently over the bacon, almonds, and cheese layered in the pie crust, ensuring it spreads evenly.
Bake the Quiche: Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly browned.
Cool Before Serving: Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for at least 5 minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions just before serving to add freshness and color.

Notes

Ensure bacon is cooked and crispy before adding to the quiche for the best texture and flavor.
Allow the quiche to cool slightly so it sets properly and is easier to slice.
You can substitute the hot sauce with your preferred brand or omit it for a milder taste.
Sliced almonds add a nice crunch; feel free to toast them lightly for enhanced flavor.
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days.
