½ (15-ounce) package refrigerated piecrusts (or make your own)
8 bacon slices, cut into 1/2 –inch pieces
4 green onions, chopped (white and green parts)
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese, divided

1/8 tsp. ground white pepper
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Let piecrust come to room temperature (about 15 minutes) and roll out slightly to make the round a little bit larger. Fit into a 9-inch pie plate, fold edges under and crimp. Poke several holes in the bottom and sides of the crust with a fork. Bake for 7 minutes; remove from oven. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
3. Cook bacon pieces in a large skillet until crisp. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle green onions, bacon, ½ cup of Swiss cheese, and ½ cup of cheddar cheese into the baked crust.
4. Whisk together eggs, whipping cream, salt, peppers and nutmeg. Pour into the crust; sprinkle with remaining Swiss and cheddar cheeses.
5. Bake at 350 for 35 to 40 minutes or until set. Let stand for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Yield: One (9-inch) quiche
