Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Unbaked pie crust
- 6 slices Bacon
- 4 Large eggs
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
In a medium frying pan, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the pan, drain on paper towels, then crumble into small pieces.
In the bacon grease, sauté the onions over medium heat until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Add the crumbled bacon, sautéed onions, and shredded cheddar cheese to the egg mixture. Stir to combine.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.
Allow the quiche to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
