Pro Tips
- Cook and crumble the bacon first and brown the sausage — fully cooked meats mean the quiche only needs to set, not cook through.
- Stir all the ingredients well in the bowl before pouring so the meats and cheddar distribute evenly through every slice.
- Grease the baking dish generously; a clean release is what makes the layered, meat-studded slices look as good as they taste.
- Release the pressure naturally for 10 minutes — the slow finish sets the custard smoothly instead of making it spongy.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does this quiche keep?
Up to 4 days in the fridge. It slices cleanly from cold, which makes it ideal breakfast or lunch meal prep.
Is it keto?

Can I bake it in the oven?
Yes — bake at 350°F until the center is set, roughly 35–40 minutes. The Instant Pot version is faster and stays moister.
