Since I love bacon and had an onion laying around I decided to make a quiche with those. I cooked the onions low and slow until they were nice and caramelized to add a nice sweet flavor to the quiche.
Bacon & Caramelized Onion Quiche:
1 pie crust
4 eggs
1 cup half and half
1 teaspoon corn starch
3 strips bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces
1/3 red onion, diced
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup swiss cheese
1/2 cup cheddar cheese
1 large tablespoon greek yogurt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat melt the butter. Add the onion and let slowly cook until it is translucent and a caramel color. It'll take a decent amount of time, I think mine cooked about 15 minutes... but I should have let them go for 20.
Fry the bacon and hold the cooked bacon off to the side until the onions are finished and the custard it finished.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and place your pie crust in a pie pan.
In a bowl beat the eggs. Stir the corn starch into the half and half, making sure it is incorporated well, and add that to the eggs along with the greek yogurt, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well and add the cheese, bacon, and onions.
Pour the egg mixture in the pie shell and make sure the bacon and onions are spread around evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the top of the quiche starts to turn golden brown.
