Ingredients

• 1 prepared pie crust
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 large yellow onion, finely diced
• 1 cup Canadian bacon, chopped
• 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
• 4 large eggs
• 1.5 cups heavy cream
• 0.5 cup milk
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.125 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the prepared pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, ensuring it is pressed evenly into the dish. Crimp the edges decoratively, if desired.

Step 2

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

Evenly spread the chopped Canadian bacon across the bottom of the pie crust. Sprinkle the caramelized onions over the bacon and then add the shredded Swiss cheese on top.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using) until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the fillings in the pie crust, ensuring it reaches the edges and fills the dish without overflowing.

Step 6

Place the quiche on a baking sheet to catch any spills, then bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 7

Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 8

To freeze for future use, cool the quiche completely, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, and freeze. To reheat, bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-30 minutes or until warmed through.
