Ingredients
- 1 9- inch pie crust homemade or store-bought
- 6 oz. Bacon cut into pieces
- ½ sweet onion finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic
- 4 egg large
- 1 ¼ cups heavy cream or full-fat milk
- ¾ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. black pepper
- ¼ tsp. paprika
- ⅛ tsp. ground nutmeg
- ¾ cup gruyere cheese shredded, or Swiss
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- parsley optional, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Place and shape the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges. Poke holes into the bottom using the tines of a fork. Place a piece of parchment paper into the pie crust and fill with either pie weights or dried beans. Par-bake the crust for 15 minutes.
- Cook bacon over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove using a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel lined plate to drain.
- Remove the bacon grease from the skillet and add back 2 tablespoons along with the diced onion. Saute over medium heat for 5-6 minutes, or until slightly caramelized. During the last minute, add in the garlic and saute for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
- In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, pepper, paprika, and nutmeg until combined.
- Add ¾ cup of the shredded cheese and the Parmesan cheese to the bottom of the par-baked pie crust along with the bacon, onions, and remaining shredded cheese. Pour in the egg mixture. Mix it all together with a fork slightly in order to release any air bubbles.
- Bake at 375 for 40-45 minutes or until the center just barely jiggles.
- Allow to rest for 10-20 minutes before slicing in and serving with fresh parsley, if desired.
