How to Make Bacon Green Onion Quiche

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Place the unbaked pie shell in the oven and bake for 12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  3. Remove from oven and let cool for 8 minutes.
  4. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).
  5. While the crust cools, sauté 1/2 cup chopped green onions in 1 tablespoon of olive oil until softened. Set aside.
  6. Evenly sprinkle 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese into the bottom of the cooled pie crust.
  7. Arrange 4 slices of cooked and crumbled bacon evenly over the cheese.
  8. Top the bacon with the sautéed green onions.
  9. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  10. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cheese, bacon, and onions in the pie shell.
  11. Bake for 40 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the center is just slightly jiggly.
  12. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
