Bacon and Onion Quiche

Ingredients
1 whole unbaked pie crust

2 tablespoons butter
8 slices bacon
8 whole large eggs

8 slices bacon
8 whole large eggs
1-1/2 cups heavy cream or half and half
2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
Heat a large skillet to medium-low. Add the butter and onions and sauté for 25-30 minutes, until onions are softened and golden brown.
Meanwhile, fry the bacon until crisp. Chop into bite-sized pieces and set aside to cool.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Roll out the pie crust and press it into a large fluted deep tart pan (or a deep dish pie pan).
Whip the eggs, cream, salt and pepper in a large bowl, then mix in the onions, bacon, and cheese. Pour the mixture into the pie crust.
Place the pan on a rimmed baking sheet, cover lightly with aluminum foil, and bake it for about 40 to 45 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the crust is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to sit for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
