Bacon, Cheddar, and Caramelized Onion Quiche
Required Ingredients
-
4 strips bacon
-
1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust
-
1 egg, beaten
-
¼ cup unsalted butter
-
1 medium onion, finely chopped
-
2 eggs
-
1 ¼ cups sour cream
-
¼ cup cream cheese, softened
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
-
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Cooking Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crispy, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels and let cool for 10 minutes before crumbling and setting aside.
-
Roll out the pastry dough using a floured rolling pin to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Place the dough in the pie dish and prick the bottom with a fork.
-
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes on the middle rack.
-
Remove the crust from the oven and brush it with a beaten egg. Return the crust to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
-
Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the onions are deeply browned and caramelized, about 40 minutes more.
-
In a bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 eggs. Add sour cream and cream cheese, then beat with an electric mixer until smooth and well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Spread the caramelized onions with the remaining butter on the pie crust. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of Cheddar cheese, then layer with crumbled bacon. Pour the egg mixture over the top and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of Cheddar cheese.
-
Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until golden and fluffy. Allow the quiche to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
