Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 prepared pie crust
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 large yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 cup Canadian bacon, chopped
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.125 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the prepared pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, ensuring it is pressed evenly into the dish. Crimp the edges decoratively, if desired.
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Evenly spread the chopped Canadian bacon across the bottom of the pie crust. Sprinkle the caramelized onions over the bacon and then add the shredded Swiss cheese on top.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using) until smooth and well combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the fillings in the pie crust, ensuring it reaches the edges and fills the dish without overflowing.
Place the quiche on a baking sheet to catch any spills, then bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
To freeze for future use, cool the quiche completely, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, and freeze. To reheat, bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-30 minutes or until warmed through.
