Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pie crust (9-inch, pre-made or homemade)
- 8 slices Thick-cut bacon, diced
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large Yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 8 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim excess crust and crimp the edges decoratively. Set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the diced bacon until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Discard most of the bacon grease from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon.
Add the butter to the skillet along with the sliced onions. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and whole milk until well combined.
Stir in the shredded cheeses, cooked bacon, caramelized onions, salt, and pepper.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pie crust. Use a spoon to ensure the filling is evenly distributed.
Place the quiche in the center of the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with chopped chives, if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature.
