Ingredients:

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 ounces (115g) bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup (100g) shredded Gruyère cheese
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped chives or green onions for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  4. Sprinkle the cooked bacon and Gruyère cheese evenly over the bottom of the prepared pie plate.
  5. Pour the egg mixture over the bacon and cheese.
  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the quiche is set and lightly golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
  7. Let the quiche cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with chives or green onions, if desired.
