How to Make Sudden Quiche Lorraine

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prick the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie crust with a fork. Bake for 8 minutes.
  3. Remove from oven and reduce temperature to 325°F (160°C).
  4. While the crust pre-bakes, cook 4 slices of bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp (about 5-7 minutes). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  5. Add 1/2 small yellow onion, finely chopped, to the bacon fat remaining in the skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened (about 5 minutes).
  6. Increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is golden brown (about 2 minutes).
  7. Pour the cooked onions into the pre-baked pie crust.
  8. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste, and 1 1/2 cups shredded Gruyere cheese (or your favorite cheese).
  9. Stir in the cooked, crumbled bacon.
  10. Pour the egg mixture into the pie crust over the onions.
  11. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the crust is golden brown. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
  12. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
