Nana's Quiche or Mom's Bacon and Onion Pie

Ingredients
  

  • 2 prepared single pie crusts in pans
  • 1/2 lb cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 8 eggs whipped smooth
  • 2 cups half and half
  • 2 cups chopped onion, sautéed in the leftover bacon grease, then drained
  • 3 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 tbsp purpose flour

Instructions
 

  • 1. Whip the eggs with the half-n-half and set aside while you load the pie shells.
    2. Divide the onions evenly between the 2 pie shells, next divide the bacon between the 2 pie shells. Now do the same with the cheese. Pour half of the egg mixture over the ingredients in each pie shell.
    3. Using your finger tips, mix the ingredients thoroughly with the egg mixture.
    4. OPTIONAL: Sprinkle tops with ground Nutmeg. Bake for 45 minutes or until knife inserted into middle comes out 'clean'. You may need to cover the crusts at the 30 minute mark to prevent over-browning.
