My Favorite Quiche

This is my favorite quiche recipe. The recipe was originally from a little paper cookbook that came with a Weber Kettle Grill -- yes, you can cook quiche in a covered grill (with indirect heat). This recipe is a version of Quiche Lorraine, with the swiss cheese and bacon, but is a little bit different.

Recipe by: Weber Barbeque Cook Book

Servings: 8

Preparation Time: 1:00

Ingredients

1 large piecrust (9 inch)

1 cup heavy whipping cream

3 large eggs -- lightly beaten

4 slices bacon -- chopped

½ can large black olives -- sliced

1 bunch green onions -- sliced

1 cup swiss cheese -- shreaded

1/8 teaspoons

salt

ground black pepper to taste

Good dash nutmeg

dash cayanne pepper

Preparing the Quiche

Cook bacon until crisp, then drain. Combine cream, eggs, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and cayanne. Arrange olives, onion, cheese, and bacon in pie shell. Pour egg mixture into pie shell over other ingredients. Bake at 375 degrees F for 35 to 45 minutes.

Notes :

This recipe isn't too specific about things, like what size can of black olives, or how big a bunch of green onions (scallions). Use your own judgement.

I generally use a deep dish pie plate, and I just double the number of eggs and the amount of heavy cream, to six eggs and two cups of heavy cream.

Enjoy!
