Ingredients

  • 1 pre-made pie crust

  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  5. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper.
  6. Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon on top of the onions. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the bacon.
  7. Slowly pour the egg mixture over the bacon, cheese, and onions.
  8. Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
