Ingredients

12 slices bacon
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
0.33 cup minced onion
1 (9 inch) prepared pie crust
2 cups light cream
4 large eggs, beaten
0.75 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon white sugar
0.13 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy and evenly browned, approximately 10 minutes. Drain the cooked bacon on paper towels, then chop it into smaller pieces.
Evenly distribute the bacon, Swiss cheese, and onion across the bottom of the prepared pastry crust.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream, eggs, salt, sugar, and cayenne pepper. Pour this mixture carefully into the pastry shell.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) and continue baking for about 30 minutes, or until a knife inserted 1 inch from the edge comes out clean.
Let the quiche rest for 10 minutes before slicing into wedges and serving. Enjoy!
