Onion, Bacon & Gruyere Quiche
The days of crisp salads and light fruit cocktails are over. Oh yeah, they’re gone alright. It’s time for Autumn food!
Can you tell I have a thing for rich, nourishing, and abundant autumn dishes? Casseroles, savoury pies, soups, stews… you name it, I’ll make it.
Today I’m celebrating the start of autumn with the ultimate comfort food: a simple and fast onion quiche. Nothing fancy. Cheating a bit even because this recipe uses crescent rolls as a substitute for pastry, making it a breeze to fix.
Onions, bacon and gruyere… how can you go wrong with that?
Ingredients:
1 can crescent rolls (6)
1 1/2 pound onions
6 oz Gruyère
4 large eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
8 oz bacon
1 tsp herbs de Provence (divided in two)
7 oz sour cream
Directions:
Thinly slice the onions.
And cut the bacon in bit-sized pieces.
Slowly cook the bacon until it crisps up.
Not too dark and crispy, though. Remove it from the pan.
Use the bacon fat to cook the onions until they’re soft and brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Add a tbsp butter if there’s not enough bacon fat.
I have a love/hate relationship with crescent rolls.
In this recipe I’ll concentrate on the love part of it because using crescent rolls means I won’t have to make the dough, chill it for quite some time, and then prebake it.
Butter a (9″) springform pan or quiche pan and cover it with the crescent rolls. Make sure you get rid of all seams!
Coarsely grate the Gruyère.
Onions should be softening up by now. Add 1/2 tsp herbs de Provence.
In a bowl you whisk the eggs with the salt, pepper, 1/2 tsp herbs de Provence, and the sour cream.
Mix up the bacon and the onions. Stop stealing bites!
Mix the onion and bacon with 1/2 of the Gruyère and fill the springform/quiche pan with it.
Top with the remaining cheese.
Slowly pour in the egg mixture. Make sure you divide it evenly.
Bake the quiche in a preheated oven at 175C° (350F°) for 30 to 35 minutes, until just set in the centre. When you’re unsure, use a toothpick to check for readiness and let the quiche cool off to room temperature.
I served the quiche as a side dish. It tasted great with grilled entrecôte & green salad.

Butter a (9″) springform pan or quiche pan and cover it with the crescent rolls. Make sure you get rid of all seams! Coarsely grate the Gruyère. Sprinkle half a tsp herbs de Provence over the onions and let them cook just a bit longer. In a bowl you whisk the eggs with the salt, pepper, 1/2 tsp herbs de Provence, and the sour cream. Once the onions are done you add the bacon and stir in half of the grated cheese. Spoon the onions and bacon into the springform pan and sprinkle the remaining cheese all over. Slowly pour in the egg mixture. Make sure you divide it evenly. Bake the quiche in a preheated oven at 175C° (350F°) for 30 to 35 minutes, until just set in the centre of the quiche. When you’re unsure, use a toothpick check for readiness and let the quiche cool off to room temperature. Meal type: |

Looks yummy! How much bacon did you use? Also, living in Amsterdam I find it difficult to find proper bacon. What kind did you use? Ontbijtspek?
8 oz. No, I used bacon… you have to go to a butcher for that. They do sell it at the supermarkets but sliced way too thin.
Ontbijtspek is a little too salty.
Leuk (en lekker!) Kay. Ik zou dit weekend voor een feestje een Quiche Lorraine maken, maar ik denk dat ik jouw recept ga volgen. Met croissantdeeg, da’s ook nieuw voor mij. Ik ga eens gek doen :)
En zoals altijd zijn je foto’s prachtig
I think Im gonna make this quiche this weekend. Only without the bacon, maybe ham in stead?
oh la la! Looks so decandent and delicious!
Oh my goodness, your quiche is so beautiful!!
I love your blog! This is a great recipe, and i love how you show the whole cooking process. Lovely photos too!
This looks so good. FYI, I printed the recipe but it prints with the title “Funky Fonq Burger” :)
Shoot, hate it when that happens. Changed it :)
I have always wanted to make a quiche with puff pastry…this is the closest recipe I’ve come across yet! Do you think it would work if I just switched out the crescent rolls? I’ve never made quiche, but the one time I had it with puff pastry was just DIVINE and I need to recreate it.
Never made with puff pastry. My gut says it’s not going to work. Could be wrong, though.
Geweldig recept, quiche was heerlijk!
Now that is one tasty looking and sounding quiche! I like the ease of the croissant crust!
Looks wonderful!
My favorite bacon to use is from Albert Heijn: Biologisch Katenspek. It fries up nice and crispy, not too fat and not too salty.
I am going to try this this coming weekend!
This looks delicious. We are gluten free. Do you think this will work as a crustless quiche?
My wife is pregnant so we substituted leftover Christmas turkey for the bacon and we swapped the onion for fresh broccoli. Amazing! Kay, you’re the best.
