Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, combine the flour and the salt. Cut in the shortening. Add just enough iced water to bring the dough together. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and place into a 9-inch pie plate.

Combine all the ingredients in the egg mixture, whisk together and set aside.

Sprinkle the bacon, then onion, then the cheeeses on top of the crust, saving one slice of bacon for the garnish. Pour the egg mixture slowly into shell to the rim. Sprinkle the reserved bacon on top of the quiche.

Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
