Notes
- Use fully cooked chicken and bacon for the best flavor and texture.
- Adjust BBQ sauce quantity depending on how smoky or sweet you prefer your quiche.
- Letting the quiche rest after baking helps it firm up and makes slicing easier.
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with a sharp cheese like smoked gouda for additional flavor.
- Ensure your pie crust is thawed if using frozen before assembling.
