Ingredients
- 1 package gluten-free pie crust
- 8 slices bacon
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 medium onion
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Place the gluten-free pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan, crimping the edges if needed, and set aside.
Step 3
In a frying pan over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cool, chop into bite-sized pieces.
Step 4
In the same pan, using the bacon grease or adding 1 tablespoon of olive oil if needed, sauté the chopped onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and half-and-half. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, cooked bacon, sautéed onions, salt, and black pepper.
Step 6
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pie crust.
Step 7
Place the quiche on the center rack of your preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Step 8
Allow the quiche to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Step 9
Enjoy your gluten-free bacon and egg quiche warm or at room temperature for breakfast, brunch, or even dinner!
