Ingredients

1 recipe Pat-In-Pan pie dough, recipe follows
6 ounces bacon, chopped
3 cups thinly sliced onion
8 ounces thinly sliced button mushrooms
2 teaspoons fresh thyme
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup heavy cream
5 large eggs
4 ounces grated Gruyere

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Prepare the pie dough as directed and press the dough into a 9-inch pie tin, forming a fluted edge. Set aside in the refrigerator as you prepare the quiche.

Set a 12-inch saute pan over medium heat, and add the bacon. Cook the bacon, stirring often, until most of the fat has rendered and the meat is crispy, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan and drain on a paper-lined plate. Add the onions to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are wilted, and lightly caramelized, about 8 minutes. Add the mushrooms, thyme, and garlic to the pan and season with the salt and pepper. Cook the onions and mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until most of the moisture has cooked out of the mushrooms and they are caramelized, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the onions and mushrooms to cool for 10 minutes before placing in the reserved pie tin with the rendered bacon.

In a medium bowl, combine the heavy cream and eggs and whisk until frothy. Pour the cream mixture over the onion mixture, and sprinkle the cheese over top. Place the pie tin on a sheet pan and place in the oven. Bake until golden brown, and the custard has set, 35 to 40 minutes. Be sure to rotate the sheet pan after 15 to 20 minutes to ensure even browning.

I might serve this to customers & call it 'Onion Mushroom Pie"
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I had a lot of extra mushrooms and decided to look for a quiche recipe that struck a chord. This one looked good so I made... it. Not bothering to make the crust, I used a commercial pie crust and followed the rest of the recipe exactly. The crust was just fine. This quiche is unique in that it's lots more good filling than egg custard. It doesn't seem like a quiche for this reason. The ingredients really work together to end in an absolutely great taste. My only minor criticism is the extra salt added to the filling mixture. I don't feel it's needed. This is easy and impressive. Definitely a do-over!!!Read more

Sweet, Salty and Savory
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I read some comments that they felt this crust was too sweet, but I felt that it went well with the salty bacon and sweet... carmalized onions. I think that anyone wanting to make this should try the crust, especially sense it is so easy to make. I also used half applesauce in place of the olive oil in the crust to lower the fat. Everybody loved it, and it made great leftovers. I used mozzerella instead of the other cheese. Read more

This quiche take a little more time but is well worth it. I used a little more bacon and cheese than was called for but the... recipe is a keeper. You can serve this at breakfast or dinner but serve it with a wonderful wine and you need nothing else for a late night delicacy. Tangy and wonderful this will please even the most picky palate.Read more
