Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 (9-inch) frozen ready-to-bake pie crust must be deep dish, see note 1
- 9 slices center-cut bacon
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 cup medium yellow onion diced
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
- 1 cup Swiss cheese freshly grated
- 4 large eggs
- 1-1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- Chopped chives optional garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and bake unwrapped frozen pie crust on a sheet pan for 10 minutes. Let cool slightly on sheet before reducing oven temperature to 350°F.
- Meanwhile, cut bacon into small pieces and cook in a large pan over medium-high heat until browned. Transfer cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside 2 tablespoons cooked bacon to use as a garnish.
- Drain off all but 1 tablespoon bacon fat. Add the butter and diced onion; cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and stir for another 30 seconds. Add cooked mixture to the plate of cooked bacon to slightly cool.
- Place bacon and onion/garlic mixture on top of baked crust. Sprinkle Parmesan and Swiss cheese evenly on top.
- In a large bowl, whisk eggs until combined. Whisk in cream, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth.
- Without overfilling the crust, pour cream/egg mixture into crust (still on the sheet pan). If crust isn’t large enough, discard excess cream/egg mixture.
- Bake on middle oven rack for 35–45 minutes or until quiche is set and very slightly jiggly in the center. (It will finish firming up outside the oven.) Avoid overbaking the quiche. If there is a slight jiggle, it’s done.
- Serve warm with reserved bacon and fresh chopped chives.
