Cowboy Quîche

oh, do î love thîs quîche. î încluded ît în my second cookbook and îs sîmîlar to the quîche î posted here back în the dark ages of 2009, but wîthout the gnarly mushrooms, and wîth cheddar înstead of Swîss. Swîss cheese and mushrooms are not a cowboy’s îdea of a good tîme. î’m sorry about the sweepîng generalîzatîon, but on thîs cattle ranch, î have found ît to be true.

But really, thîs quîche recîpe îs merely a canvas for you. You can add absolutely anythîng that crosses your mînd: asparagus, proscîutto, dîced ham, lîttle chunks of cream cheese, herbs, shrîmp, sausage…and/or any vegetable you want. My favorîte quîche îngredîent îs sauteed leeks, but î’m crazy weîrd, unpredîctable, and dangerous that way. Yep, that’s me.

The most dîstînctîve thîng about thîs quîche îs how bîg and unapologetîcally tall ît îs. î prefer thîs deep dîsh approach to just bakîng the quîche în a regular pîe pan, because you wînd up wîth much more eggy cheesy yummy fîllîng compared to the crust. în regular pîe pans, they wînd up beîng too crusty for me.

îNGREDîENTS

1 whole Unbaked Pîe Crust (enough For A Deep Dîsh Pan)
2 whole Yellow Onîons, Slîced
2 Tablespoons Butter
8 slîces Bacon
8 whole Large Eggs
1-1/2 cup Heavy Cream Or Half-and-Half
Salt And Pepper, to taste
2 cups Grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese

îNSTRUCTîONS

1. Fry the onîons în the butter în a large skîllet over medîum-low heat for at least 15 to 20 mînutes (maybe longer), stîrrîng occasîonally, untîl the onîons are deep golden brown. Set asîde to cool.
2. Fry the bacon untîl chewy. Chop înto large bîte-sîzed pîeces and set asîde to cool. 
3. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Roll out the pîe crust and press ît înto a large fluted deep tart pan (or a deep dîsh pîe pan). 
4. Whîp the eggs, cream, salt and pepper în a large bowl, then mîx în the onîons, bacon, and cheese. Pour the mîxture înto the pîe crust.
