Time 2h25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 slices bacon
1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust
¼ cup butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 egg, beaten
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

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Fry bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crispy, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Let cool 10 minutes. Crumble and set aside.
  • Roll out pastry crust into a circle using a lightly floured rolling pin. Line a 9-inch pie pan with crust. Prick holes into the base of the dough using a fork.
  • Bake crust in the preheated oven on the middle rack for 15 minutes.
  • Remove pastry crust from the oven. Brush crust with beaten egg. Return crust to the oven and bake 5 minutes more.
  • Heat butter in a pan over medium heat and stir in onion. Cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and continue cooking and stirring until onion is very tender and dark brown, about 40 minutes more.
  • Whisk 2 eggs together in a bowl using a fork. Add sour cream and cream cheese and beat using an electric mixer until well combined. Beat in salt and pepper.
  • Spread caramelized onions with remaining butter onto pastry crust. Sprinkle with 1/2 the Cheddar cheese. Place crumbled bacon evenly over the top. Pour egg mixture over bacon. Top with remaining Cheddar cheese.
  • Bake quiche in the preheated oven until golden and fluffy, about 30 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.

This quiche is a great way to use up leftover bacon and cheese. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.

The crust on this quiche is amazing! It's so flaky and buttery. I could eat it all by itself.

This quiche is perfect for a weekend breakfast or brunch. It's also a great make-ahead meal. I often make it the night before and then bake it in the morning.

I added a dollop of sour cream on top of each slice of quiche and it was amazing! The sour cream added a nice tanginess that balanced out the richness of the quiche.

I didn't have any caramelized onions on hand, so I used sautéed mushrooms instead. It was still very good, although I think the caramelized onions would have been better.

I used a pre-made pie crust to save time and it worked out well. The quiche was still delicious and everyone loved it.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The caramelized onions added a nice sweetness to the quiche. I also added some chopped fresh thyme, which gave it an extra burst of flavor.
