Ingredients(Makes 6 servings)
- 6 Slices of Crisply Cooked Bacon
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup half and half
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups of cheddar cheese
- 1 Tbsp. flour
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 9-inch pie crust, room temperature
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Mix together the cheese and flour with your hands in a small bowl and set aside.
- Mix together the eggs, half and half, milk, and salt in pepper in another bowl. Set aside.
- Begin cooking the bacon in a frying pan on medium heat until the bacon is crispy. Lay out on paper towel to dry.
- Drain some but not all of the bacon grease and sautee the chopped onions in the bacon grease.
- While the bacon is cooking, spray the quiche dish with non-stick spray and place the pie crust in it. Using your index and middle finger as well as your ring finger, begin to pinch the crust on the edges to create a nice edge.
- Pour the cheese mixture onto the pie crust. Sprinkle the crumpled bacon on top. Shake out the sauteed onions on top of the bacon.
- Pour the egg mixture into the pie crust so that it evenly spreads through the cheese, bacon, and onions.
- Bake the quiche for 15 minutes at 450 degrees. Then, reduce the heat to 350 degrees and cook for an additional 20 minutes.
- Test the quiche for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center. If it comes out clean, it is done. Bake for an additional 5 minutes if it is not done.
- Cut up the quiche and serve.
Side recommendations: A light salad and grapes. Soooo good. If you are feeling daring, try out the quiche with a fruity wine like Sangria. It really complements the cheesiness of the quiche.
