Blue Cheese and Walnut Quiche

Ingredients:
1 pie crust
3 large eggs
2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup milk
2 1/4 cups grated Swiss or Gruyere cheese
1/2 cup blue cheese, crumbled
2 Tablespoons minced red onion
1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Gently place pie crust into 9-inch round pie pan or quiche pan. Pinch the rim decoratively and prick crust with a fork. Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Pull out to cool while you prepare the filling.
2. In large bowl, whisk together eggs, flour, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Blend in the cream and then the milk.
3. In separate bowl, combine Swiss and blue cheeses and then sprinkle them into the prepared pastry shell. Sprinkle the red onion and walnuts over the cheese. Gently pour in egg mixture to fill the pastry shell.
4. Place the filled pan on a baking sheet and bake quiche for 35-40 minutes, or until custard is just set. Watch the edges of the crust and cover with foil or a pie-crust cover if it's browning too much. Let quiche rest 8-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Swiss and Cheddar Quiche with Bacon

Ingredients:
1/2 (15 ounce) package refrigerated pie crust (or make your own)
8 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (Applewood Smoked bacon is ideal)
4 whole green onions, chopped
4 ounces (1 cup) shredded Swiss cheese, divided
4 ounces (1 cup) sharp cheddar cheese, divided
6 large eggs
1 cup whipping cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Let piecrust come to room temperature (about 15 minutes) and roll out slightly to make the round a little bit larger. Fit into a 9-inch pie plate, fold edges under and crimp. Poke several holes in the bottom and sides of the crust with a fork. Bake for 7 minutes; remove from oven. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
3. Cook bacon pieces in a large skillet until crisp. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle green onions, bacon, 1/2 cup of Swiss cheese, and 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese into the baked crust.
4. Whisk together eggs, whipping cream, salt, peppers and nutmeg. Pour into the crust; sprinkle with remaining Swiss and cheddar cheeses.
5. Bake at 350 for 35 to 40 minutes or until set. Let stand for about 10 minutes before slicing.
