For the Filling
  • 5 large large eggs Choose organic or free-range eggs for the best flavor.
  • 1 cup heavy cream You can substitute half-and-half for a lighter option.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). This step ensures your quiche cooks evenly and develops a lovely golden color.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.
  3. Stir in the shredded Swiss cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions. Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed for flavor in every bite.
  4. Grease a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray or butter for easier removal.
  5. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pie dish, using a spatula to spread it evenly.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is puffed and set in the center.
  2. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing to allow the quiche to firm up for easier serving.
  3. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired, and enjoy your delightful creation!
