1 shallot, minced
4 large eggs
1 ⅓ cups half and half
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
dash nutmeg, optional
1 cup Gruyere cheese, finely shredded
⅓ cup parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions

Prepare and blind-bake the pie crust. Follow my post, it's very informative!
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until crispy and golden brown then set aside.
Returning to the same skillet, add the minced shallot and sauté until tender.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, half and half, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
To assemble the quiche, place the cooked bacon pieces, shallots, and shredded Gruyere and parmesan cheese on top of the pie crust.
Pour the egg mixture over the bacon, shallots, and cheese.
Carefully place the pie in the preheated oven. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the quiche is cooked through.
Remove from the oven and allow the quiche to sit for 5 minutes before enjoying it!
