Ingredients
- 1 unbaked quiche crust (Pie Crust will do)
- 2 tablespoons EVOO
- 1 1/2 large sweet onions
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
- 6 slices of bacon, cut in 1/2″ pieces

Caramelized Onion Bacon Gruyere Quiche Directions
- Place a medium-sized skillet over medium heat and bacon until crispy. Set aside and drain the pan.
- Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add the onion, saute for 5 minutes, and then add the salt, thyme, sage, and mustard. Cover the pan, lower the heat, and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- During this time, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F, and place the unbaked crust in a pie dish. Bake the crust until firm, remove from oven.
- Stir the balsamic vinegar and bell pepper into the onions, turn the heat up to medium, and cook, uncovered, for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Sprinkle the gruyere cheese into the crust, then spoon the onion-pepper mixture on top of the cheese.
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, and black pepper to taste, and slowly pour this over the vegetables and cheese.
- Bake in the lower third of the oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until the custard is set.
- Cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing, and serve at any temperature.
