Ingredients

  • 1 (9 inch) pie crust
  • 6 slices bacon
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups Swiss cheese, shredded
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Directions

Step 1 -Bake the pie crust following the package instructions.

Step 2 -Reset the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.

Step 3 -Using a large sized skillet, cook the bacon until it is crisp.

Step 4 -Drain the bacon of grease, reserving 2 tablespoons of the drippings.

Step 5 -Crumble up the bacon and set aside.

Step 6 -Cook the onion in the skillet with the saved drippings until the onion is tender, about 3 minutes. Drain.

Step 7 -Using a large bowl, add together the milk, salt, and eggs.

Step 8 -Mix in the bacon and the onion to the egg mixture, adding it slowly so you don’t scramble the eggs.

Step 9 -Using a separate bowl, mix together the cheese and flour together.

Step 10 -Add the cheese mixture to the egg mixture, working to make sure it’s well incorporated.

Step 11 -Spoon the egg mixture into the pie crust.

Step 12 -Bake the dish in the oven until a knife inserted into the center of the quiche comes out clean, about 35-40 minutes. If necessary, cover the edge of the crust with foil while baking to prevent burning or over-browning.

Step 13 -Let the quiche stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Step 14 -Serve warm!
