French Quiche Lorraine with Caramelized Onions

Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1 To make the pastry crust, combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Add cold butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. 2 Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough holds together. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
3. 3 Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and fit into a 9-inch pie pan.
4. 4 In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook until caramelized, about 15 minutes. Remove and set aside.
5. 5 In the same skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towels.
6. 6 In a bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Stir in the caramelized onions, bacon, and gruyere cheese.
7. 7 Pour the filling into the prepared crust. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
8. 8 Let the quiche cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
