Ingredients
Method
Make the Crust
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Add chilled butter and use a pastry cutter or fingers to blend until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, just until dough holds together.
- Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes. Then roll out, fit into a 9-inch pie dish, and trim the edges. Chill again while prepping the filling.
Preheat & Cook Bacon
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook bacon until crisp. Drain and chop into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Sauté Onions
- In a skillet with a little bacon drippings (or butter), cook diced onion until soft and golden — about 5 minutes.
Assemble the Filling
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Add in the sautéed onion, chopped bacon, and both cheeses. Stir to combine.
Fill & Bake
- Pour the mixture into your prepared crust. Spread evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35–45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
- If the edges of the crust brown too quickly, cover them with foil or a pie shield halfway through baking.
Cool & Garnish
- Let the quiche cool for at least 10–15 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

Notes
Store leftovers in the fridge covered for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat slices in a 350°F oven for 10–12 minutes or microwave for a quick fix.
