Bacon and Rotel Quiche

Submitted by Nimz_

"This is so yummy. Has just the right amount of spice for us. Pretty easy to make too. I made it easier by cooking the bacon in the microwave. This is my version of Kimke's Bacon Green Chili Quiche. After the last couple of reviews I have stated the size of pie crust to use."

We really enjoyed this! I used four eggs and a quiche dish and the filling was the correct amount. Served with a spinach/grape/almond salad. Hubby said it is definitely on the rotation :) Thanks for sharing!

This quiche is awesome. I loved the addition of Rotel. Next time I make this I will use the extra hot Rotel for a little more spice.

This was very good, especially with the rotel tomatoes. I only used 4 eggs and half a cup of milk otherwise it would have overflowed. Maybe if using a deep dish pie shell it would have been ok. Anyway I will be making this again. Thanks

Well this is the "bee's knee's" ~ made this quick, and it was so savory, I could of eaten half the pie myself. I did however, use *Rotels XX HOT* dice tomatoes and green chilies. We really like it hot! Everything else with together with ease, and baked up beautifully. Just for an added touch of heat, I roasted a scotch bonnet pepper right on top! Thanks, Nimz! UPDATE: I made this again because Den.Den asked to have a quiche. So went right here.......this time added my own homemade "Rotel" and own pie crust. Left out some of the heat this time and added some feta cheese to the top for decoration. Thanks again, ~Nimz~ obviously I love it, I keep making it over and over.

Very good! I think the next time I make this, I will use my largest deep-dish pie plate, as I used a regular sized one and it was too small. After I added the bacons, onions and cheese, there was no room for the Rotel tomatoes, so I left them out. All of the egg mixture would not fit in the pan either, so I ended up throwing some of it away. All that being said, however, it was easy to make and tastes great! I would make it again. Updated to add: I have since made it again, used a deep-dish pie plate and it worked out great, plenty of room for all the ingredients. In the future, I may try this without a crust, as a crustless quiche.
