Quiche Lorraine

This is a wonderful dish that goes well for breakfast but is also tasty for any other meal. With a prepared crust, it's not too difficult to make.

Ingredients:

- 9-inch pie crust (we get the frozen deep dish ones)
- 4-6 strips bacon
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 cup Gruyere or Swiss cheese, cubed or grated
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 4 eggs, lightly beatn
- 1 1/2 cups cream or combination of milk and cream
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper (can substitute regular pepper)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Bake pie crust for 5 minutes.

Cook bacon until crisp; remove from skillet. Pour off all but one tablespoon of the fat from the skillet. Cook onion in remaining fat until onion is transparent.

Crumble the bacon. Sprinkle the bacon, onion, and cheeses over the inside of the crust.

Combine the eggs, cream, nutmeg, salt, and pepper and pour over the onion-cheese mixture.

Bake 15 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake approximately 30 minutes, or until a knife inserted one inch from the pastry edge comes out clean.
