Quiche Lorraine

This is a recipe from my mother-in-law. It made a fantastic dinner and the leftovers made a fantastic breakfast.

Ingredients:

pastry for a 9 inch one crust pie
8 slices bacon, crisply crumbled
1 cup shredded swiss cheese (I don't like swiss so I used cheddar)
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
4 large eggs
2 cups whipping cream or half and half
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp cayenne


Directions:

Prepare pastry for a 9 inch one-crust pie. Sprinkle bacon, cheese, and onion in pastry lined pie dish. Beat eggs slightly, add remaining ingredients. Pour into pie dish. Bake for 15 minutes at 425. Reduce oven temperature to 300 and bake 30 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
