ELLEN'S QUICHE RECIPE
Ingredients * 1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch single crust pie
* 12 slices bacon - make sure each slice is
exactly the same size
* 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese - it better be fine enough to slip through your fingers
* 1/3 cup minced onion - rings of
equal length, diameter
* 4 eggs, beaten
* 2 cups light cream
* 3/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon white sugar - never ever to be replaced with brown sugar,
ever!
* 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Directions 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2. Place bacon in a large skillet, and fry over
medium-high heat until crisp. Drain on
paper towels, then chop evenly. Sprinkle bacon, cheese and onion into pastry shell.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, salt, sugar and cayenne pepper. Pour mixture into pastry shell.
4. Bake for 15 and a half minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce heat to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C), and bake an additional 30 minutes, or until a knife inserted
exactly 1 inch from edge comes out clean. Allow quiche to sit 10 and a half minutes minutes before cutting into wedges.
