How To Make Cowboy Quiche
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt butter and then fry onions until deep golden brown, stirring occasionally. This will take at least 15-20 minutes. Set aside to cool.

- Roll out pie crust into pie pan.
- In a large bowl, whip the eggs, cream, salt, and pepper, then add onions, bacon, and cheese, and stir to combine.
- Pour filling into pie crust and cover lightly with foil. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and bake 45 minutes.

- Let sit 10-15 minutes before serving. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
