Breakfast Quiche

This is another one of those magazine recipes I clipped a long time ago. I love quiche and this one is fairly easy.

Breakfast Quiche

1 unbaked 9-inch pastry shell
12 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup shredded pepper jack or Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
4 eggs
2 cups whipping cream
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Line unpricked pastry shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake at 450 degrees for 5 minutes; remove foil. Bake 5 minutes longer; remove from oven and let cool.

Reduce heat to 425 degrees. Sprinkle bacon, cheeses and onion over the crust. In a bowl, beat eggs, cream, salt, sugar and pepper. Pour into the crust.

Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 300 degrees. Bake 30 minutes longer or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.

Yield: 6-8 servings
