Quiche Lorraine - Sort Of

Total Time: 55 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 35 mins

Ingredients

• 1 (9 inch) frozen pie shells (or your own)
• 1/3 lb lean bacon
• 1 cup grated cheese (i'm partial to a mix of sharp cheddar and gruyere)
• 1/2 onion, minced fine
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• pepper
• 1 pinch nutmeg

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 375 degrees f.
• 2 thaw the pie shell if frozen and poke a bunch of holes across the bottom and sides with a fork. bake for 5 - 7 minutes until very light gold.
• 3 remove from oven and set aside.
• 4 chop bacon in to smallish pieces and fry until cooked but not very crisp.
• 5 saute the minced onions in the bacon grease and set both aside (draining the onions first).
• 6 in a medium sized bowl whisk the eggs and add the milk, salt, pepper and nutmeg. add in the cheese and bacon and stir until combined.
• 7 turn the egg mixture out in to the pie shell (it's easier to handle if you have the pie plate on a baking sheet).
• 8 cook at 375 f for 30 to 40 minutes or until a kinife inserted in to the center comes out clean. let it sit for 5 minutes before cutting.
• 9 great with a crisp salad. enjoy!
