Ingredients

  • 6 slices bacon
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 small onions cut into 1/4 inch slices
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 large eggs beaten
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed if frozen
  • 2 green onions sliced

Instructions

  • 1. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, turning to brown both sides until crispy. Remove to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Chop or crumble bacon and set aside.
  • 2. Remove all but 2 tablespoons of bacon grease from the pan and place over medium-low heat. Add the butter and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized, 25 to 30 minutes. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and set aside.
  • 3. Preheat the oven to 350°.
  • 4. Carefully line a 9- inch pie plate with puff pastry. Carefully trim any overhang and fill any gaps with the trimmings. Just press the seams together. Crimp the edges with your fingers.
  • 5. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, Parmesan, 1 cup of the cheddar, dijon, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Stir in the caramelized onions and bacon.
  • 6. Pour into puff pastry and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup of cheddar.
  • 7. Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the puff pastry is golden and the quiche is set. Check the quiche after 20 minutes, if the crust is browning too quickly, loosely cover it with foil.
  • 8. Let the quiche rest for 10 minutes, then slice into wedges and serve with the sliced green onions on top.
