Hello, everyone! I've been a bit inundated recently with Mom's vascular dementia. It has been a trying time and we've had to relocate her to Memory Care. Hoping in the next few weeks to settle into writing some of my blogs again. Prayers are welcomed!
Dough for single-crust deep-dish pie
1 package (12 ounces) thick-sliced bacon strips, coarsely chopped
3 large sweet onions, chopped
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1-1/2 cups shredded Gruyere cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
8 large eggs, room temperature
2 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy whipping cream
On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 14-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-in. springform pan; press firmly against bottom and sides. Refrigerate while preparing filling.
In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Discard drippings, reserving 1 tablespoon in pan. Add onions to drippings; cook and stir over medium heat until caramelized, 20-25 minutes.
Stir in thyme, pepper and nutmeg; remove from the heat. Cool slightly. Stir in cheeses and reserved bacon; spoon into crust. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk and cream until blended; pour over top. Place springform pan on a rimmed baking sheet.
Bake on a lower oven rack until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean, 75-85 minutes. Cool on a wire rack 15 minutes. Loosen sides from pan with a knife. Remove rim from pan.
