6 slices thick-cut bacon
1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced
4 large eggs
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Gruyère cheese
Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan and prick the base with a fork.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and add sliced onions. Cook until golden brown and soft (about 20 minutes), stirring occasionally.
In another pan, cook bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels.
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Stir in the Gruyère cheese, caramelized onions, and crispy bacon bits into the egg mixture.
Pour the filling into the prepared crust, then bake for 35-40 minutes until set and lightly golden on top.
Allow cooling slightly before slicing and serving.
