Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 recipe all butter pie crust
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 0.5 cup half and half
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 1.5 cups shredded Swiss or Gruyère cheese
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Partially bake your pie crust: line the bottom of the chilled crust with parchment paper and pie weights. Bake for 8 minutes, then carefully remove parchment and weights. Poke holes in the bottom with a fork and bake again for 5 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 325°F.
  2. Cook bacon over medium heat in a large skillet until crispy. Reserve the fat and drain on paper towels, then crumble.
  3. Cook onion in some of the bacon fat until tender and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Toss shredded cheese with flour to prevent clumping. Set aside.
  5. Whisk eggs, milk, half and half, and salt. Stir in crumbled bacon, cooked onions, and cheese. Pour into the pre-baked crust.
  6. Place pie on a cookie sheet and cover with a pie shield. Bake for 45-50 minutes until center is slightly wobbly and lightly golden on top.
  7. Cool for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
  8. Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
