Quiche with Bacon, Cheddar, and Onions
from ButterYum
makes 8 servings
Ingredients
1 tablespoon butter
2 medium onions, sliced
6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
4 large eggs, beaten
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 3/4 cups whole milk
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (or half table salt)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
2 jalapeno peppers, minced (optional)
Directions
Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat, add sliced onions and a pinch of salt; stir until all onions are coated with butter.
Lower heat to medium low and continue cooking onions, stirring occasionally, until onions are caramelized (keep a glass of water near the stovetop in case you need to add a splash to any hotspots in the skillet); remove from heat and allow to cool.
Preheat oven to 375F and butter the bottom and sides of a quiche pan.
Place the prepared quiche pan on a half sheet pan and spread the caramelized onions and chopped bacon evenly inside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, milk, salt, and pepper; pour into quiche pan and top with cheddar and optional jalapenos.
Bake in center of preheated oven for 45-60 minutes or until a knife tests clean when placed in the center of the quiche.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
Note: all or any combination of milk, half and half, or heavy cream can be used as long as it equals 2 cups.
