Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece store-bought pie crust
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup milk
- 6 slices bacon
- 1 cup grated Gruyère cheese
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup onion (finely chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan and prick the bottom lightly with a fork. Set it aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon, chop it into small pieces, and set aside. Leave about 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the skillet.
Add the butter to the skillet with the bacon grease and heat over medium-low heat. Sauté the finely chopped onion for 3-4 minutes until softened. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until smooth. Stir in the salt, black pepper, and optional nutmeg.
Sprinkle the cooked bacon, sautéed onion, and grated Gruyère cheese evenly over the pie crust. Pour the egg mixture gently on top, ensuring the fillings are evenly distributed.
Top the quiche with the grated Parmesan cheese for an extra layer of flavor.
Carefully place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
Allow the quiche to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your delicious Sudden Quiche Lorraine!
