Equipment
- 9-inch pie pan
- skillet
- Mixing bowl
Ingredients
For the Crust
- 1 pie crust Pie Crust Pre-made or homemade
For the Filling
- 8 ounces Bacon Thick-cut
- 2 medium Onions Sweet, for caramelization
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 cup Gruyère Cheese Shredded, can substitute with sharp cheddar or feta
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare the pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan. Be sure to prick it with a fork to prevent bubbling during baking.
- Caramelize the onions by cooking them in a skillet with butter over medium heat. Stir frequently until they are beautifully golden brown, about 20 minutes.
- Cook the bacon in a separate pan until it’s nice and crispy. Remember to drain any excess grease on paper towels.
- Whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until the mixture is well combined and fluffy.
- Fold in the Gruyère cheese, caramelized onions, and crispy bacon gently into the egg mixture.
- Pour the filling into the prepared crust, evenly distributing it. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and golden on top. Let cool slightly before slicing.
Notes
Optional: Garnish each slice with fresh herbs for an extra touch of flavor. For best results, refrigerate unbaked quiche and bake fresh when ready.
