Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. 2. Line a nine-inch pie plate with the pastry. By all means build a rim with the pastry and flute it. This is essential for the amount of custard indicated in this recipe. 3. Cover the bottom of the pastry with a round of parchment paper and add enough dried beans or peas to partly fill the shell. Bake 10 minutes. 4. Reduce the oven heat to 375 degrees. Remove and discard the beans and parchment paper and set the pastry-lined pie plate aside. 5. Cook the bacon until crisp and remove it from skillet. Pour off all but one tablespoon of the fat remaining in the skillet. Cook the onion in the remaining fat until the onion is transparent. 6. Crumble the bacon and sprinkle the bacon, onion and cheeses over the inside of the partly baked pastry. 7. Combine the eggs, cream, nutmeg, salt, pepper and Tabasco sauce to taste. Strain the mixture over the onion-cheese mixture. Slide the pie onto a baking sheet. 8. Bake the pie until a knife inserted one inch from the pastry edge comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Remove to a wire rack. Let stand five or 10 minutes before serving.

This quiche was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. I think I would have preferred it with a different type of cheese. The crust was also a bit too thick for my liking.

I've been making this quiche for years, and it's always a hit. It's the perfect dish for a special breakfast or brunch. I love that it can be made ahead of time, so I can just reheat it when I'm ready to serve it.

I was really disappointed with this quiche. The crust was soggy and the filling was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This quiche was a bit too eggy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less eggs and more cheese. The crust was also a bit too thick for my liking.
