Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter (for pan)
  • 8 oz bacon (cooked and chopped (2.5 oz cooked weight)*)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/8 teaspoon white pepper ((black is fine, but will be visible on the golden quiche))
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 medium onion (chopped (2 oz))
  • 3 oz gruyere cheese (grated)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate with butter.

  2. 2

    Cook the bacon until crisp and chop it. It's easy to cook it in the microwave in two batches.

  3. 3

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, white pepper, and cayenne pepper.

  4. 4

    Fold in the chopped cooked bacon, onions, and grated cheese. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie plate and gently mix to evenly distribute the bacon pieces.

  5. 5

    Bake until the quiche is puffed and golden, and a toothpick inserted in its center comes out clean, 30-40 minutes.* 

  6. 6

    Cool the quiche for 30 minutes in the pan on a cooling rack, then slice it into 8 slices and serve.
