Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch shell Gluten-free pie crust
- 6 slices Bacon
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, thinly sliced
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the gluten-free pie crust on a baking sheet for easy handling.
In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Remove bacon, drain on paper towels, and crumble once cool.
Add olive oil to the skillet with the bacon drippings. Stir in the sliced onions and cook over medium heat until soft and caramelized, about 10 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until well combined. Season with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg.
Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the onions.
Pour the egg mixture over the bacon and onions. Make sure the ingredients are well distributed.
Top with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives.
Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
