Cheddar Bacon Quiche

Ingredients:

- 4 or 5 strips of bacon
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
- 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 5 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 1/4 cups half-and-half
- 1/2 cup diced onion (or equivalent minced dried onion)
- 1 can (4 oz) diced green chile peppers, drained (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble, and set aside.

Place crust in a 9-inch glass pie plate. Sprinkle bacon inside of crust.

In a small bowl, combine Cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and flour.

In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, half-and-half, onion, and optional green chiles. Add cheese mixture; stir well. Pour into pie crust.

Bake in preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, until set. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
