Ingredients
  

  • 1 pre-made pie crust
  • 6 slices bacon chopped
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg optional
  • 1/2 small onion finely chopped

Instructions
  

Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the pie crust into a pie dish. Press gently and set aside while you prepare the filling.

Cook the Bacon

  • Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add chopped bacon and cook until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain extra oil.

Cook the Onion

  • In the same pan, cook chopped onion for a few minutes. Cook until soft and slightly golden. This adds extra flavor to the quiche.

Prepare the Egg Mixture

  • In a mixing bowl, add eggs, cream and milk. Whisk until smooth. Add salt, pepper and nutmeg. Mix well until everything is combined.

Add Filling to Crust

  • Spread cooked bacon and onions evenly over the pie crust. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Make sure everything is evenly distributed.

Pour the Egg Mixture

  • Slowly pour the egg mixture over the filling. Do not overfill. The liquid should cover the ingredients evenly for a balanced texture.

Bake the Quiche

  • Place the pie dish in the oven. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. The center should be set and the top lightly golden.

Cool Before Serving

  • Remove the quiche from the oven. Let it cool for 10 minutes. This helps it set properly and makes slicing easier.

Slice and Serve

  • Cut into slices and serve warm. Enjoy the creamy filling and crispy crust together for the best experience.

Notes

  • Use a good quality pie crust for best results.
  • Do not overbake or the quiche may become dry.
  • Let it rest before cutting for clean slices.
  • Use fresh eggs for better texture.
  • Add spinach or mushrooms for variation.
  • Use full-fat cream for a rich taste.
