Cheeseburger Quiche Recipe

This quiche does taste exactly like a cheeseburger, a bacon cheeseburger to be exact. There is a crust in place to mimic the burger buns and a thick slab of cheese on top, meat in the middle, but what makes it most authentic tasting is the dill pickle relish.  The relish gives it the “cheeseburger-esque” taste you want.  Leaving it out would be a big mistake.

The first bite of this quiche will surprise you. You’re eyes are seeing quiche, but you’re tasting a burger. It’s really that authentic.

Got a family member that will not eat quiche? Spring this cheeseburger version on them, I think they’ll be pleasantly surprised.

How To Make Cheeseburger Quiche

Step one: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Step two: In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in tomatoes, onion, relish and bacon. Set aside.

Step three: In a large bowl, whisk eggs, cream, milk, mustard, pepper sauce, salt and pepper. Set aside.

Step four: Unroll pie crust into a 9″ deep-dish pie plate (make sure it’s deep dish, otherwise, the mixture will not fit) and flute the edges. To make refrigerated pie crust fit into a deep-dish plate, roll it out a little bit more with a rolling pin. (You can make your own pie crust or purchase frozen deep dish pie crusts; just make sure it’s completely thawed out.) Transfer meat mixture into prepared crust. Pour egg mixture over the meat and use a fork to move the meat around, letting the egg mixture settle in between. Sprinkle with cheeses.

Step five: Bake for 45-60 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. If necessary, cover edges with foil during the last 15 minutes to prevent overbrowning. Let stand for 15 minutes before cutting.

Recipe Tips

  • You must use a deep dish pie plate otherwise ingredients will overflow
  • Resist the urge to add the whole pound of ground beef, this will also make the other ingredients overflow
  • To make refrigerated pie crust fit into a deep-dish plate, roll it out a little bit more with a rolling pin. (You can make your own pie crust or purchase frozen deep dish pie crusts; just make sure it’s completely thawed out.)
  • Garnish each slice with all the regular cheeseburger fixings.

How To Store Leftover Quiche

This quiche can easily be stored in the refrigerator covered with plastic and still in the pie dish.

You can also tightly wrap each piece separately to lock in the moisture, ensuring that it reheats well.

How To Reheat Leftover Quiche

Leftover quiche can be reheated in the oven (my favorite way), in the microwave and a toaster oven.

Wrapped in foil and warmed in the oven takes the longest, but tastes closest to freshly made.

The microwave works well, but the crust will never be as crispy as oven warmed.

Can I Freeze The Whole Quiche?

Yes, absolutely!

Once your quiche is made, let it completely cool and wrap tightly with plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Place it in the freezer for up to three months before baking.

      I made this last night – made my own crust as well. It came out fantastic. I did make a mistake and added a whole package of ground beef – not realizing it was just over a one pound package. So it was a little “beefy” and it overflowed. Definite tip: make sure you have foil covered pan underneath quiche just in case it over flows. I did and it no mess in my oven.
      A definite keeper and repeat. Thanks so much.

  2. This recipe looks and sounds like a slightly more decadent version of a cheeseburger pie I once made. Very appealing. I love when your boys give you a cooking mission (not that they need to, because you had so many great ideas on your own). I bet they were happy you obliged!

      (I used a potato crust instead of a flour crust (burger & fries!) plus I omitted the Parmesan.)

  8. I have a Cheeseburger Pie that sounds similar. My boys and hubby love it. I think the hubby likes it because it’s a combination of two good things-cheeseburger & pie.
    BTW, I must have strange boys (7 & 3) because they won’t eat their food if it is separated. Also, they tend to eat their veggies first and meat last. They even eat lima beans. 🙂

  10. This looks amazing! I’d love to sub half and half for the heavy cream…possibly sweet pickle relish, which my husband loves, for the dill pickle relish.

    Can I do this without disastrous results??

    Reply

  27. Oh, man!! Your son has great taste!! I think I would even tolerate the relish for this dish. I think my woman (AND myself), not just a man, would get over her dislike for quiche for this, and I’m an example of that! YUMMY!

  30. ho. ly. yum. what a brilliant idea–huge pat on the back for the creator of this! your version looks delightful, cathy, and i’d wager that the leftovers are just as good. calories shmalories.

  31. Would it be too SNL skitish for me to want to put a slice in between a hamburger bun and then put MORE garnish on top of that? (and perhaps deep fry it….?) Just kidding. This looks delicious on its own. Can you tell I’ve been eating really healthy all week so far and am slowly caving? ;o)

    My best, Lynn

  35. Well, the half and half will probably be fine. With the relish I think it would depend on how you usually eat your burgers, with dill pickles or sweet pickles?  If you eat them with dill, i would stick with that, but it’s totally up to you.

  41. found your blog today, enjoyed spending an hour or so checking it out, looking forward to following you. Just read your about me, laughed out loud reading about your youngest child… you could have been writing about mine!

  51. Oh my! I was skeptical, but gave this a whirl (doubled the recipe in fact & made 2). My family loved, LOVED this dish – all 5 kids & the man! I now have a sliver of one quiche left. Will definitely make it again 🙂

    (btw, I used half & half instead of cream – it’s what I had on hand).

  52. This looks really interesting…bacon, beef, cheese, what’s not to like? I however do not like pickles on my hamburgers-I will eat them separate but not on the meat, strange, maybe. I have to think hard about adding or omitting that relish…

    Reply

  55. Just made this recipe, and it was really good. I used sweet relish over dill; because, no one I was making the dish for (nor do I) likes dill. I really didn’t like the taste; it the sweetness was just misplaced. Oh, and I didn’t have a deep dish to cook it in so I used two 9 inch regular pans, which worked out fine (I just need more cheese). In fact, my mom said she would have rather have it cooked in regular pans over deep-dish pans.

    Thank you, Cathy, and I love the site.

  56. My boyfriend LOVES blue-cheese burgers, would blue-cheese crumbles bake OK in the oven? Instead of adding bacon (or with it, depends on what he likes) I plan on putting a layer of blue-cheese between the meat/veggie layer. I’m hoping that the blue-cheese won’t get out of control and burn or something. Any experience with blue-cheese?

  58. I made this tonight and it was yummy!!!!! I kind of messed up and mixed the meat with the eggs and eggs and milk instead of pouring it over. I guess I’ll just have to try again. Oh darn!!!!! My Husband and Mom gave it a 10 out of 10.
