SERVES 6
Caramelized Onion & Bacon Quiche
CRUST
1½ cups finely crushed Ritz crackers
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
FILLING
4 slices thick-sliced bacon, cut into thin strips
3 cups thinly sliced sweet onions
1 cup half-and-half
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
6 ounces (1½ cups) grated Gruyère or Swiss cheese
GARNISH (OPTIONAL)
¼ cup minced fresh parsley
CRUST
Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine ingredients until well blended. Press mixture in bottom and 1" up sides of a 9" pie plate. Bake 10 minutes. Prepare filling while crust bakes.
FILLING
In a skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp. Reserving drippings, use a slotted spoon to transfer bacon to a plate lined with paper towels.
In drippings, cook onions until tender, cooking away all liquid from onions. Arrange onions in cracker crust.
Beat half-and-half, eggs, salt, pepper and nutmeg in a medium bowl until blended. Pour egg mixture over onions in crust. Sprinkle cheese and cooked bacon over filling.
Bake until knife inserted into center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Garnish with parsley, and serve.
