Ingredients

6 slices bacon
1 cup (100 g) button mushrooms, sliced
1 small white onion, finely chopped
1 cup (100 g) Swiss cheese, grated
2 tbsp (30 g) unsalted butter
4 large eggs
1 cup (240 ml) sour cream
1 pre-made 9-inch (23 cm) pie crust
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. **Preheat your oven**: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. **Cook the bacon**: In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels, then crumble into small pieces.
3. **Sauté the vegetables**: In the same skillet, add unsalted butter and sauté the onions until translucent. Add the mushrooms and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Season with a little salt and pepper.
4. **Prepare the filling**: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sour cream until well combined. Stir in the sautéed onion and mushrooms, crumbled bacon, and grated Swiss cheese.
5. **Assemble the quiche**: Place the pie crust in a quiche pan or deep pie dish. Pour the filling into the crust, spreading it evenly.
6. **Bake**: Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
7. **Cool and serve**: Allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your classic Swiss Mushroom Bacon Quiche!
