This Cowboy Quiche never fails to make our family dinner extra special! Bacon, caramelized onions, and a lot of cheese, it doesn’t get any better than that!
INGREDIENTS :
- 8 slices bacon, chopped
- 8 large Eggs
- 2 medium yellow onions, sliced
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 ½ c heavy cream or half-and-half
- 2 c grated cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp salted butter
- ¾ tsp salt
- 1 unbaked pie crust
DIRECTIONS :
- Prepare the oven and preheat it to 200 degrees C or 400 degrees F.
- Roll out the pie crust, then place it into a deep-dish pie plate. Press the sides of the crust to the plate. Put it in the fridge while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
- Place a large skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium-low. Add butter and allow it to melt.
- Add the onions into the hot skillet, then sauté for about 20 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Remove from the skillet and transfer them into a mixing bowl.
- In the same skillet over medium-high heat, add the bacon slices and cook for a few minutes until crispy. Transfer them onto a clean plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease. Move it into the bowl with the onions.
- Add eggs, salt, pepper, and cream into a mixing bowl. Beat until well blended. Transfer the mixture into the bowl with the caramelized onions and bacon. Add the grated cheese as well and stir everything until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared crust and spread it evenly. Cover with foil.
- Place it in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes. Remove the cover and bake for 15 more minutes or until the top turns golden brown.
- Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to rest for about 15 minutes at room temperature. Slice into even servings.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes:
- Place any leftovers in an airtight container, then put them in the fridge. They can last up to 3 days or 3 months in the freezer. Reheat for a few minutes before serving again.
