Au Revoir, Mr. Rude: French Farewell Quiche

1.Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2.In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. If using, add the diced ham or lardons and cook until crispy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

3.In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, whole milk, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and Dijon mustard until well combined.

4.Stir in the sautéed onion and ham mixture, followed by the grated Gruyère cheese, crumbled goat cheese, chopped chives, and thyme. Mix until evenly distributed.

5.Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and pour the filling mixture into the crust, spreading it evenly.

6.Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.

7.Once baked, remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
