Bacon cheddar quiche with a rutabaga crust is a unique breakfast bake and you’re definitely going to be going back for seconds. The “crust” is actually cubed rutabaga that’s been sauteed in butter or bacon fat, and then topped with a rich mix of eggs, milk, cream, bacon, and heaps of cheddar cheese.

Bacon Cheddar Quiche with Rutabaga Crust

Egg bakes and quiches are one of my favorite breakfasts to make. They are not only easy, but pretty hands-off as far as the actual cooking goes too.

This particular quiche is a *little* more involved, but it is well worth it.

You might wonder what rutabaga is doing in a quiche. I was too, to be honest. This recipe comes directly from my husband’s awesome mind. Sometimes the combinations he comes up with amaze me. You will recognize him from his chicken tenders, grilled pork tenderloin, and my instant pot teriyaki pork tenderloin too.

Start out by doing a rough chop of your rutabaga and then sautéing it in your bacon grease. Just go with it. Trust me. I mean, trust Jeremiah, ’cause he’s got a method to his madness and never steers us wrong.

Well – besides that one time he decided to put curry powder in his chili. I still haven’t forgiven him for whatever that monstrosity was.

This quiche recipe is so flexible. You can add in almost any mix-ins that you’d like. My favorites are these bacon, rutabaga, and cheddar, but I’m equally in love with ham and cheese as well. You might like a southwest version with peppers and some awesome instant pot shredded chicken taco meat, or Traeger Carnitas.

This will be a perfect addition to any spring brunches you might have coming up! I love quiches for feeding a crowd, and I think you’re going to love this too.
