Ingredients:
1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch
single pie crust
12 slices bacon

Place bacon in a large skillet,
and fry over medium-high heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels, then chop
coarsely. Sprinkle bacon, cheese and onion into pastry shell.

In a medium bowl, whisk together
eggs, cream, salt, sugar and cayenne pepper. Pour mixture into pastry shell.

Bake 15 minutes in the preheated
oven. Reduce heat to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C), and bake an additional 30
minutes, or until a knife inserted 1 inch from edge comes out clean. Allow
quiche to sit 10 minutes before cutting into wedges.
Variation: Replace Swiss cheese with provalone and use part bacon and part sausage (This is actually my favorite) |
