Cowboy Quiche

by Rebecca December 10, 2022
written by Rebecca

Prep Time: 30 mins | Cook Time: 1 hr | Total Time: 1 hr 30 mins | Yield: 8 to 10 Servings

This Cowboy Quiche never fails to make our family dinner extra special! Bacon, caramelized onions, and a lot of cheese, it doesn’t get any better than that!

Ingredients:

8 slices bacon, chopped

8 large Eggs

2 medium yellow onions, sliced

¼ tsp black pepper

1 ½ c heavy cream or half-and-half

2 c grated cheddar cheese

2 tbsp salted butter

¾ tsp salt

1 unbaked pie crust

Directions:

Prepare the oven and preheat it to 200 degrees C or 400 degrees F.

Roll out the pie crust, then place it into a deep-dish pie plate. Press the sides of the crust to the plate. Put it in the fridge while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

Place a large skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium-low. Add butter and allow it to melt.

Add the onions into the hot skillet, then sauté for about 20 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Remove from the skillet and transfer them into a mixing bowl.

In the same skillet over medium-high heat, add the bacon slices and cook for a few minutes until crispy. Transfer them onto a clean plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease. Move it into the bowl with the onions.

Add eggs, salt, pepper, and cream into a mixing bowl. Beat until well blended. Transfer the mixture into the bowl with the caramelized onions and bacon. Add the grated cheese as well and stir everything until well combined.

Transfer the mixture to the prepared crust and spread it evenly. Cover with foil.

Place it in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes. Remove the cover and bake for 15 more minutes or until the top turns golden brown.

Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to rest for about 15 minutes at room temperature. Slice into even servings.

Serve and enjoy!

Notes:

Place any leftovers in an airtight container, then put them in the fridge. They can last up to 3 days or 3 months in the freezer. Reheat for a few minutes before serving again.

  • 1½ c Coconut Cream well stirred or blended
  • 1 tablespoon Grated Fresh Ginger
  • 3 tablespoons Clarified Butter, divided

Instructions

Add the chili powder, salt, garlic powder, cumin, olive oil, and garam masala into a mixing bowl. Stir everything until well incorporated.

Add the chicken into the bowl with the marinade, then toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic, then place it in the fridge to marinate the chicken for at least 6 hours or overnight.

For the Sauce:

Place a large skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium-high. Add 2 tbsp of clarified butter and allow it to melt.

Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess. Add them in batches into the hot skillet, then sear each side for a few minutes until they turn brown. Transfer them onto a clean plate and repeat the process with the rest of the chicken.

In the same skillet, add onion, ginger, garlic, coriander, chili powder, and cayenne. Sauté for a few minutes until aromatic and soft.

Add the tomato sauce and stir until well blended. Simmer for about 5 minutes.

Add the coconut cream and stir until well blended. Simmer for a few minutes.

Put the chicken back into the skillet, then toss to coat with the sauce. Simmer for 10 more minutes. Remove from the heat.

Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Place any leftovers in an airtight container, then put them in the fridge. They can last up to 5 days or 3 months in the freezer. Reheat for a few minutes before serving again.
