Breakfast Quiche

Paco loves Jamie, especially when I make him things like Breakfast Quiche.  He is a quiche-loving manly-man.

Last Father's Day, I made him this particular quiche for breakfast and he cried tears of joy.  Tears of joy, I promise.

Ingredients

• 1 unbaked pastry shell (9 inches)
• 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 heavy whipping cream
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

• Line unpricked pastry shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake at 450° for 5 minutes; remove foil. Bake 5 minutes longer; remove from the oven and let cool.
• Sprinkle bacon, cheeses and onion over the crust. In a bowl, beat eggs, cream, salt, sugar and cayenne; pour into the crust. Bake at 375° for 30-35 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.

*Of course, for ease and convenience, you could use a prepared pie crust.  But where's the fun in that?  So if you have the time, try it with a homemade pie crust.  

Notice the lack of veggies.  Perfect for Father's Day around here. 

Yup, I'm married to a quiche-lovin' manly-man.
