Cowboy Quiche

I've never made quiche, why? Because I don't like it, generally. That is, until now... Now, I like Quiche because this was dang good quiche and now I want to try different ingredients in the quiche so I can eat more of this, quiche. Hehe... super easy recipe and here is how I made it...

Thanks PW for getting me to like quiche!

Cowboy Quiche      

Serves 4-6

Cowboy Quiche

ingredients

•1 frozen regular pie crust
• 1 yellow onion, halved and sliced
• 1 tbsp butter
• 4 slices thick cut bacon
• 4 large farm fresh eggs
• 3/4 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup extra sharp shredded cheddar cheese

• Kosher Salt & Freshly Cracked Black Pepper, to taste

directions

1. Cook the onions in butter in a cast iron skillet over medium-low heat for 35 minutes until deep golden brown, stirring occasionally. Set aside to cool.

2. Fry the bacon until almost crisp, chop and set aside.

3. Preheat oven to 400º. Whip the eggs, cream, S&P in a bowl, then add in onions, bacon & cheese. Pour this mixture into the frozen pie crust. Cover with foil loosely and place pie on a baking sheet. Bake for 45 minutes and remove the foil then bake another 10-15 minutes until set and golden.

4. Remove from oven and let set for 10 minutes or so before slicing and serving.

Now, I had a leftover frozen pie crust from who knows what so I just used that and halved the original recipe to fit in this size. I didn't go the extra mile of making crust myself, because that's baking and we all know I really don't enjoy that. Plus, I didn't even know if I'd like this quiche nonsense so why do that extra work. Next time, I might try to make my own crust but who knows I might just be lazy again - ha!

Enjoy!
