Ingredients 

  • 1 9- inch pie crust, homemade or store-bought
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 slices bacon, diced
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out your 1 9- inch pie crust and press into a 9″ tart or pie pan. Chill the crust while you prep the filling.
  • Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until the edges are set and lightly golden. Remove the weights and bake a bit longer until dry.
  • In a skillet, cook the diced 4 slices bacon until crisp. Remove and drain. In the 1 tablespoon butter, sauté the 1 medium yellow onion until soft and translucent.
  • In a bowl, whisk the 4 large eggs and 1 cup heavy cream with ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and teaspoon nutmeg. Stir in the cooked bacon, onions, 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves and shredded 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese.
  • Pour the mixture into the pre-baked crust, distribute evenly. Bake until the custard is set but still slightly wobbly in the center, about 35–40 minutes.
  • Let the quiche rest for about 10 minutes so it settles. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
