Simple Quiche Lorraine

Ingredients

• 1 refrigerated pie pastry , 9 inch
• 6 slices bacon
• 1 medium onion , sliced
• 1.5 cups shredded Swiss cheese
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups milk
• 3 large eggs , beaten
• 0.25 teaspoons salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

2. 2

   Place pie pastry into a 9-inch pie pan; line with a double layer of aluminum foil and a layer of pie weights or dried beans.

3. 3

   Bake in the preheated oven until golden on the edges, about 8 minutes. Carefully remove the foil and weights; continue baking until crust is set and dry, about 5 minutes more. Remove from the oven and reduce the temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

4. 4

   While the crust is baking, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and crumble when cool enough to handle. Drain all but 2 tablespoons drippings from the skillet.

5. 5

   Add onion to drippings in the skillet; cook and stir over medium heat until tender, about 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon and transfer to a bowl.

6. 6

   Toss Swiss cheese and flour together in a small bowl. Whisk milk, eggs, and salt together in a large bowl, then stir in bacon and onion.

7. 7

   Mix in cheese mixture until well combined, then pour into pie crust.

8. 8

   Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
