Ingredients:

2 tsp olive oil
9g
6 bacon strips
150g
1 onion
110g
2 sheets puff pastry
500g
5 eggs
250g
1 cup heavy whipping cream
230g
1/2 cup cheddar cheese
80g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Pastry:
- Take the puff pastry sheets out of the freezer (if frozen) and let them thaw according to the package instructions.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets to fit your quiche dish (or pie dish). Gently press the pastry into the dish, ensuring it covers the base and sides. Trim any excess dough.
3. Cook the Bacon:
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
- Add the bacon strips and cook until they are crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove bacon from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cooled, chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
4. Sauté the Onion:
- In the same skillet, add the finely chopped onion. Cook until it becomes translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
5. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy whipping cream until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
6. Assemble the Quiche:
- Evenly spread the sautéed onions and chopped bacon over the base of the puff pastry in your quiche dish.
- Pour the egg and cream mixture over the bacon and onions.
- Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
7. Bake the Quiche:
- Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. The center should be slightly firm and a knife inserted in the middle should come out clean.
8. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the quiche to cool for about 10-15 minutes on a wire rack before slicing and serving. This helps the filling to set completely and makes slicing easier.

Tips:

- Pre-cook the bacon until it is just crispy but not overdone. This will ensure a good texture in the final quiche.

- Caramelize the onions slightly for an added depth of flavor.

- Blind bake the puff pastry sheets before adding the filling to avoid a soggy crust.

- Let the quiche cool for a few minutes after baking to ensure it sets properly and is easier to slice.

- Feel free to add your favorite herbs or vegetables to the mixture for additional flavor and texture.

Enjoy your homemade bacon and egg quiche, a delightful blend of savory ingredients wrapped in a golden puff pastry crust. This dish is sure to be a hit at any meal, providing a satisfying and comforting option for your table. Serve it warm and watch as it quickly becomes a favorite among family and friends.
