Instructions

Spread the bacon out in an even layer in the bottom of the pie crust, followed by the cheeses and onion.
1 9 inch deep dish frozen pie crust, 1 lb bacon, 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese, 1/4 cup shredded Gruyere cheese, 1/3 cup minced yellow onion
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, then whisk together until smooth. Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl, stirring until evenly combined.
4 large eggs, 2 cups heavy whipping cream, salt & pepper, pinch red pepper flakes
Pour the egg mixture evenly out over the ingredients in the pie crust to fill.
Bake at 400° for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 325° and cook another 35-40 minutes- or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Carefully remove the hot quiche from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Want to make your morning easier? Cook the bacon the night before and set it in an airtight container in the fridge so it's ready to go. You can also chop the onion the night before and leave it in a container in the fridge until you are ready to use it.
If you can't find Gruyere you can use all Swiss cheese.
Do not substitute the heavy cream with anything less fatty than half and half. The quiche won't be as luscious and if you are planning to freeze it it won't freeze as well.
