Ingredients
- 1 (9-inch) pie crust refrigerated
- ½ pound Bacon chopped into ½-inch strips
- ½ yellow onion diced
- 1 cup gruyere cheese freshly shredded
- 1¾ cups half-and-half
- 4 large egg
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon chives plus more for garnish, chopped fresh
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Roll out the pie crust (if needed) and transfer it to a 9½-inch quiche pan. Use a rolling pin to roll over the dough and cut off the excess crust.
- Place a piece of parchment on the crust and fill it with pie weights. Spread them out all the way to the edges of the crust. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the pie weights and set aside.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the bacon and cook until crisp. Set aside on a paper towel lined plate.
- Drain off all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat. Add in the onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the cheese, half-and-half, eggs, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and chives together.
- Arrange the bacon and onions in the bottom of the crust.
- Pour in the filling and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the filling is set. Garnish with more chives, if desired.

Notes
- Storage: Store quiche lorraine in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- If you don't have a quiche pan, use a tart pan with a removable bottom or a 9-inch pie pan.
- If you don't have pie weights, use dried beans, peas, or rice to weigh down the crust.
- For a more indulgent quiche, use heavy cream in place of the half-and-half.
- The filling should be just set; it may wobble a bit in the center. This will ensure the quiche is silky and light.
