5 slices bacon
4 eggs
1/4 cup milk
Oil (for drizzling)
Salt (to taste)
Pepper (to taste)
Grated cheese (as desired)

Method
 

1️⃣ Prepare the Potatoes
    Boil the potatoes in a pan until soft but not mushy. Drain and set aside.
      2️⃣ Prepare the Fillings
        Slice the tomatoes and set aside.
          Fry the bacon until crispy, then chop into bite-size pieces.
            Grate the cheese.
              3️⃣ Make the Potato Crust
                Preheat oven to 200°C (392°F).
                  Grease your oven dish with butter or oil.
                    Place the boiled potatoes into the dish and smash them down evenly to create a flat base.
                      Press the potatoes up the sides to form a crust.
                        Drizzle a little oil and sprinkle salt over the crust.
                          4️⃣ Add the Fillings
                            Layer tomatoes, chopped bacon, and grated cheese over the potato crust.
                              5️⃣ Prepare the Egg Mixture
                                In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
                                  Pour evenly over the fillings.
                                    6️⃣ Bake
                                      Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and set.
                                        Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

                                          Notes

                                          • Use waxy potatoes for a firmer crust.
                                          • For a vegetarian potato crust quiche, replace bacon with mushrooms or spinach.
                                          • Let the quiche rest 5–10 minutes before slicing for clean cuts.
                                          • Reheat in the oven for best texture.
