03 Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Pre-bake frozen pie shell for 40 minutes. While pie shell is baking, whisk the half cream and half milk, eggs and white pepper in a bowl or 4-cup measuring cup and set aside. Fry the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until browned.
Step 2

Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain, slice or break into chunks. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the clear, rendered bacon fat, discard the rest, wipe out the skillet. Add the bacon fat back to the skillet, cook the onion over medium heat for 4-5 minutes or until tender.
Step 3

Once the pie shell has pre-baked, remove from the oven and raise the temperature to 375°F. Scatter the cheese on the pre-baked pie shell then top with the bacon and onion. Slowly pour in the custard mixture over the bacon mixture.
Step 4

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top of the quiche puffs and begins to brown and a cake tester or toothpick comes out clean while the center may still be somewhat jiggly. Transfer to a cooling rack where the egg will continue to set.
Step 5

Cut into slices and serve warm or at room temperature. If making ahead, bring to room temperature for 15-30 minutes before serving.
