I've not tried this recipe before, not that I'm aware of, but I often buy Quiche Lorraine or spinach and
cheese type of quiche, and I really liked it. So I checked the recipes for Quiche Lorraine on different recipe sites and decided to modify them a little bit and see if it tasted the same and it did. With very little preparation and easy to assemble, this could be a family favorite in no time.
Ingredients:
4 eggs
1 and 1/4 cups of half and half (Full cream is usually called for)
Four slices of bacon chopped into small pieces
Gruyere Cheese 4oz grated
Three slices of an onion chopped up
Salt and pepper
Frozen pie shell (You can make your own pie shell, but why bother. Buy a frozen pie and it comes with an aluminum shell for easy baking)
So first heat the oven to 400 degrees and put the pie shell in to brown. While that is going on fry the bacon, continually turning the small pieces so they cook evenly, and when they are crisp take and place them into a small bowl. Next, put the chopped onion into the bacon grease to cook. Meanwhile whip together the 4 eggs and the half and half, seasoning with salt and pepper. Meanwhile, check on the pie shell, it should be brown on the edges by now. Take the pie shell out and reduce the oven temperature to 325. Take the by-now-cooked onions and spread them out on the bottom of the pie shell. Next, sprinkle half the bacon bits on top of the onion. Next, add the Gruyere Cheese. Now this might look like there is no room for the egg mixture but there will be as the egg filters through the cheese. Put the remaining bacon on top of the cheese. Pour the egg mixture all over the cheese and pat down any cheese that tries to escape the egg mixture. Next, into the oven and set a timer for 50 minutes. Let it settle when you take it out of the oven for a few minutes and then enjoy!
