INGREDIENTS

  • Main Ingredients

    • 🥓 4 strips bacon
    • 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust
    • 🥚 1 egg, beaten
    • 🧈 1/4 cup unsalted butter
    • 🧅 1 medium onion, finely chopped
    • 🥚 2 eggs
    • 1 1/4 cups sour cream
    • 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
    • 🧂 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
    • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2

Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crispy, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Let cool 10 minutes, then crumble and set aside.

3

Roll out pastry crust using a lightly floured rolling pin to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Place crust in pie plate. Prick holes into crust bottom using a fork.

4

Bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack for 15 minutes.

5

Remove crust from the oven; brush with beaten egg. Return crust to the oven; bake 5 minutes more.

6

Heat butter in a pan over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low; continue cooking and stirring until onion very tender and dark brown, about 40 minutes more.

7

Whisk remaining 2 eggs together in a bowl. Add sour cream and cream cheese; beat with an electric mixer until well combined. Beat in salt and pepper.

8

Spread caramelized onions with remaining butter onto pastry crust; sprinkle in 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese. Place crumbled bacon evenly over top; pour in egg mixture, then top with remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese.

9

Bake quiche in the preheated oven until golden and fluffy, about 30 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
