Equipment

  • 1 pie dish

Materials

  • 1 Pillsbury Pie crust refrigerated or frozen
  • ½ pack of bacon diced and cooked
  • ½ cup of shredded swiss cheese
  • ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups of whipping cream
  • ¼ tsp of salt
  • ¼ tsp of black pepper

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 425℉.
  • Remove crust from refrigerator and let sit out to room temperature.
  • Chop bacon and let cook in frying pan until almost crispy.
  • Remove bacon and lay on a plate with a paper towel to drain the excess fat. Let sit aside.
  • Remove most of the excess fat leftover in pan from bacon but leave enough to have a coating around the pan to sauté onions.
  • Saute onions until they become translucent.
  • In a large bowl add whipping cream, eggs, salt and pepper and mix well using a hang mixer or a whisk if that is what you prefer.
  • Add cheeses and mix well.
  • Next, you will need a pie dish.
  • Remove pie crust from its original packaging and lay over the pie dish. Be sure to mold it into the dish. Also be sure to read my blog above to see what I do with my crust.
  • Lay your bacon and onion into the bottom of your pie dish.
  • Pour whipping cream and remaining ingredients over bacon and onion. With a fork or spoon make sure to mix everything evenly throughout your dish.
  • Place the pie dish in the oven uncovered for 15 minutes. Don’t forget to set your timers!
  • Reduce oven to 300℉ after the 15 minutes and continue to bake for an additional 40 minutes.
  • To check if the middle of the pie is fully baked. Take a knife and stick it in the middle of your quiche and if it comes out clean then your pie is ready.
  • Remove quiche from the oven and let cool and rest for about 30 minutes before serving and eating.
  • Bom appetite! Enjoy this deliciousness!
