Quiche

For this recipe I find working with a frozen crust works well and you dont have to pre bake it as you see in so many quiche recipes.I find a great 9″ deep dish frozen pie crust already in a disposable tin for around 90 cents each at a national chain. I can make a very good pie crust for a little less, but a frozen one makes this dish easy to do. Starting with the frozen dough creates a flaky crust. You can make so many variations of this dish. I use many different cheeses and vegetables and meats. Think of your favorite omelet when creating a quiche of your own.

prep time 10 min
cooking time 60 minutes

Ingredients
3-4 slices bacon cut into bite sized pieces and fried crisp
1 small onion sliced thin and fried until caramelized
1 cup shredded Swiss cheeses
1 1/2 cups half and half
3 eggs
pinch of nutmeg
pinch of salt
1 frozen pie crust

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Take fried bacon and place in frozen pie crust. Make sure you have pierced the bottom of the pie crust with a fork 4-5 times. (Do not poke thru the pan). Place cheese on top of bacon. Take half and half and mix with seasonings and eggs. Pour mixture over cheese and bacon in crust. Place in oven for 15 minuets. Reduce heat to 325 degrees and bake for 45 minutes or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let sit for 5-10 minuets before serving.
