Quiche Lorraine

Ingredients:

1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch single pie crust 12 slices bacon 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese 1/3 cup minced onion

4 eggs, beaten 2 cups light cream 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon white sugar 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions:

1.	Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2.	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.
3.	In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, salt, sugar and cayenne pepper. Pour mixture into pastry shell.
4.	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)
