Apple Bacon Gouda Quiche

1. 1

   Line a glass pie plate or glass cake pan with crust, crimping top to edges of pan.

2. 2

   Preheat oven to 350 u00b0 Fahrenheit.

3. 3

   Halve, core, and peel apple, then mince and scatter in bottom of pie plate.

4. 4

   Top with minced bacon and chopped Gouda cheese.

5. 5

   Whisk eggs in mixing bowl with half and half, then stir in nutmeg, salt and pepper. I recommend using a whole nutmeg with microplane grater, grating enough to dust the custard mixture lightly.

6. 6

   Pour custard mixture into pie plate and shake the plate a little to even it out and tap any ingredients that poke up under the wet custard mix.

7. 7

   When oven is properly hot, place pie plate on a supporting pan and into oven on a middle shelf.

8. 8

   Bake for 35 minutes, then check doneness with a butter knife to see if custard is firm. If it needs more time, go in 5 minute intervals, covering the crust if it browns excessively.

9. 9

   Allow to sit undisturbed out of the oven for 20 minutes before slicing.

10. 10

    Serve warm.
