Traditional French recipe from the mountain regions of France. I’ve had this recipe since at least the late 1970’s and in all that time, it’s still a keeper.

INGREDIENTS:

• 3 small eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup grated sweet onion
• 8 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 3/4 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 quiche pastry dough, prepared (or single pie crust)

METHOD:

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees for the quiche.

Step 2

In a bowl, beat eggs with a whisk; add the cream and beat again; add the grated onion and beat yet again.

Step 3

Sprinkle bacon in the bottom of the shell; sprinkle parmesan over the top of that.

Step 4

Pour cream mixture over all.

Step 5

Dot the top with small bits of butter.

Step 6

Place the pan on a cookie sheet or other drip pan and into a preheated oven.

Step 7

Bake at 350 degrees until domed and light brown.

Step 8

Cool 1/2 hour before cutting and serving.
