Ingredients

• 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons ice water
• 8 slices bacon
• 1 medium large onion
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 cup grated Gruyère cheese

Directions

Step 1

To make the crust, mix the flour and salt in a bowl. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Add ice water one tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork until the dough comes together.

Step 3

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 5

On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Fit the dough into a 9-inch pie pan, trimming any excess.

Step 6

Prick the crust with a fork and blind bake for 10 minutes with pie weights or dried beans. Remove weights and bake for an additional 5 minutes. Let it cool.

Step 7

Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Crumble once cooled.

Step 8

In the same skillet, sauté the onion in the bacon fat over medium heat until soft and translucent. Drain excess fat, if needed.

Step 9

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

Step 10

Spread the bacon, onion, and Gruyère cheese evenly over the prepared crust.

Step 11

Pour the egg mixture over the bacon, onion, and cheese.

Step 12

Bake the quiche at 375°F (190°C) for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden.

Step 13

Allow the quiche to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
