Ingredients
- 1 pie crust
- 1 vidalia onion large, sliced thinly
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 4 eggs
- 2 Tbsp. smoked bacon cooked crispy and chopped, or German speck if you can find it
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 cup half and half
- 1 tsp. salt
- ⅛ tsp. caraway seeds ground
- ¼ tsp. smoked paprika
Instructions
Prepare the crust:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Roll out pie dough and fit inside quiche pan (a pie pan will also work well) and using the tines of a fork poke holes in it or dock it.
- Place a piece of parchment paper on top of dough. Add pie weights or dry beans and blind bake for about 10 minutes and remove promptly.
- Once cooled slightly remove the pie weights or beans and parchment paper.
Prepare the filling:
- In a skillet on medium heat sauté onion with salt in olive oil until translucent. Reduce heat to low and allow onions to caramelize. Add paprika and caraway.
- In a large bowl whisk eggs with sour cream and half and half. Add the onions and mix well.
- Pour egg mixture into crust.
- Bake for about 20 minutes in the middle of the oven. Test for doneness with a toothpick or cake tester.
- Turn oven to broil and allow quiche to broil for about 2 minutes or just until the top starts to brown.
- Serve hot.
