Bacon & Gruyere Quiche
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 premade frozen deep dish Pie crust
- ½ package Bacon
- 1 small Onion
- 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
- 1 ¼ cup Heavy cream
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400. Remove Pie crust from freezer and let it thaw enough that you can easily prick it with a fork. Prick bottom and sides with a fork. Put a piece of parchment over the pie and put pie weights over the parchment. If you don’t have pie weights you can use dry beans. Bake until it turns a light golden brown ( about 10 mins). Set aside to cool.
- Cook Bacon until crispy. Pat bacon dry and chop into small pieces. Set aside.
- Dice Onions and cook in bacon grease until it is translucent or a little golden brown. Pat dry until all grease is absorbed. Set aside.
- Shred Gruyere cheese. Set Aside
- Combine Bacon pieces, cooked onions and Gruyere cheese, salt and pepper. Put mixture into the baked pie crust.
- In a separate bowl, whisk heavy cream and eggs together. Then pour mixture into pie crust over the other ingredients. Sprinkle some extra cheese on top.
- Place pie on a baking sheet. Bake at 325 degrees for about 45-55 min or until filling is set and the top is a golden brown.
