Quick Quiche Lorraine

Grubilicious Contributor: Reata Knieriemen

This one is DELICIOUS and super easy... Also, for vegetarians like myself, it's very easy to convert to vegetarian by just using fake bacon. :)



4 eggs
1 can Evaporated Milk
1 cup onion; chopped
1 cup jarlesburg cheese; grated (I use Swiss if I am in a hurry and can't find jarlesburg cheese... tastes almost the same!)
8 slices of bacon; cooked & broken into 1/2 inch peices
1/2 cup water
1 pie crust
salt/pepper
cayenne pepper (optional... and worth using b/c it tastes great!)


Layer the bacon, cheese, and onion in the bottom of the bottom of the pie crust. Mix the eggs,evaporated milk, and water in a bowl. Add in salt and pepper to taste. Add cayenne pepper (optional). Pour in pie crust over the layers. Bake for 30 - 40 minutes at 400 degrees.
