Ingredients

The following ingredients have 16 Servings
  • 1 Homemade pie crust (, unbaked*)
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 1/2 onion (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup Swiss cheese
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 4 large eggs (, lightly beaten)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare your pie pan with your unbaked pie crust. Pre-bake your pie crust for 8 minutes 
  • (I always use pie weights or dry beans or rice on top of parchment paper to keep the crust from shrinking. After the 8 minutes, remove the pie weights and parchment paper.)
  • Meanwhile, cook bacon, in a skillet. Once cooked, remove to a plate and chop. Remove most of the grease from the pan and add onion. Saute for 2 minutes.
  • Layer the bottom of the pie crust with cheddar and Swiss cheeses. Add bacon and onion on top. 
  • Mix the eggs, cream, milk and spices in a bowl. Gently stir while pouring over crust to evenly distribute all of the spices. Sprinkle shredded parmesan cheese on top.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes - 1 hour, depending on your oven, until the center of the quiche is just set. If you notice the pie crust is browning too much you can place a piece of tinfoil over it while cooking. (I don't usually need to do this).
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Store leftovers, covered, in the fridge.
