Christmas Cowboy Quiche

Merry Christmas! I got up early and made breakfast for my family.  We had a breakfast casserole, caramel pecan bread, bacon, other snacks...and this new recipe I found on the Pioneer Woman's website.  Her recipe is called Cowboy Quiche: Pioneer Woman's Recipe: Click Here)

I made the quiche very plain because we have some picky eaters but when I make it again I may add in other ingredients to jazz it up.  I also cheated and used a store bought pie crust.  And I don't have a tart pan so I used a deep dish pie pan.   Below is what I made for our Christmas breakfast.

Unbaked Pie Crust (enough For A Deep Dish Pan)
1 whole Yellow Onion, Diced
2 Tablespoons Butter
8 slices Bacon
8 whole Large Eggs
1-1/2 cup Heavy Cream
Salt And Pepper, to taste
2 cups Grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese

 

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Press pie crust into a deep dish pie pan.

 

Fry the onions in the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat for at least 15 to 20 minutes (maybe longer), stirring occasionally, until the onions are deep golden brown. Set aside to cool.

 

Fry the bacon until chewy. Chop into large bite-sized pieces and set aside to cool.

 

Whip the eggs, cream, salt and pepper in a large bowl, then mix in the onions, bacon, and cheese. Pour the mixture into the pie crust.

 

Place the pan on a rimmed baking sheet, cover lightly with aluminum foil, and bake it for about 40 to 45 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the crust is golden brown.
