  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp freshly cracked black pepper

  5. Remove the crust from the oven and take off the parchment and weights.
  6. Cook the diced onion in the bacon drippings until translucent, then add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
  7. In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, heavy cream, and milk until smooth, then add the eggs, Swiss cheese, cooked onions and garlic, nutmeg, salt, and pepper, mixing well.
  8. Stir in most of the bacon, reserving some for garnish, and pour the filling into the crust.
  9. Brush the crust edges with heavy cream and cover the quiche edges with a pie shield.
  10. Bake for about 25 minutes until the crust is golden and the filling is set.
  11. Cool for 10 minutes before serving and garnish with remaining bacon and parsley.
