Elle's Kitchen: Bacon and Swiss Quiche

I learned to make quiche from

Julia Child (of course...) many years 

ago and it used to appear regularly on

the menus at Avalon.  Then, one of the 

kids decided they didn't like it and it has

been so long since I've made it I actually

had to consult The Way to Cook for cooking

time and temps.

Ingredients:

a pre-baked pie crust

6 strips of bacon, crumbled

3/4 cup swiss cheese

3 eggs

half and half

salt

pepper

freshly ground nutmeg

Preheat oven to 375F.

Place the bacon evenly over the bottom of the 

crust, sprinkle the cheese over that.  Beat the 3 eggs

and then add enough half and half to make a mixture 

of 1 1/2 cups, season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.

Pour liquid over the filling and add a bit more nutmeg 

to the top.  Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until puffed and

browned.  Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Enjoy!
