1 cup shredded cheddar cheese — (4 oz)
1 cup shredded swiss cheese — (4 oz)
1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell
1/2 cup bacon bits
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Serving Size : 6
Preheat oven to 350F. In a medium bowl, combine cheddar and Swiss cheeses; sprinkle half of the mixture into pie shell. Sprinkle with bacon bits, then cover with remaining cheese. In a small bowl, combine eggs, milk, onion powder and black pepper. Beat until thoroughly mixed.
Pour over cheese and sprinkle with nutmeg. Bake 40 to 45 minutes, or until firm and a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes before cutting into pie-shaped slices.
NOTE:
We’ve all seen quiche made with lots of different fillings, but when it’s accented with bacon bits and cheese, it’s called Lorraine after the region in northeastern France where it originated.
