Instructions
In a large sauté pan, fry the bacon over medium until crispy on both sides. Set aside to drain on paper towels, leaving bacon grease in the pan.
Add the onion to the pan with the bacon grease and sauté over medium heat for about 10 minutes, until translucent and starting to brown. Set aside to cool slightly.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9X13 inch pie pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, salt, cayenne, and chives. Stir in 3/4 cup of Swiss and gruyere cheeses.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pie pan. Sprinkle with the cooked onion. Cut the bacon into small pieces and sprinkle over the eggs. Push the onion and bacon into the eggs. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup of each cheese.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, until knife is inserted in the center and comes out clean.
If your quiche appears too watery to serve it could be because it was overbaked or underbaked, the egg to dairy ratio was not correct, the ingredients have too much liquid or it was baked on the wrong rack in the oven.
Excess moisture is one reason why quiches collapse in a watery pool on your plate. Vegetables and meats like ham give off tremendous amounts of water when they're cooked. Therefore, if you're using vegetables in your quiche, it's imperative that you cook them first.
Heavy Cream and Milk – For the best tasting quiche, use a combination of whole milk and heavy cream. (Or simply use half-and-half.) Using just heavy cream produces an overly thick filling. Whole milk is great, but a combo of heavy cream and milk is better.
Using too many eggs in the custard results in a quiche that rubbery and too firm when baked, while not using enough will prevent the custard from setting. Follow This Tip: Remember this ratio: 1 large egg to 1/2 cup of dairy.
Keep quiche portions small to control calorie intake. Quiche is a food that has the potential to be healthy, but could also be a diet downfall. Traditional quiche is full of cheese, eggs, cream and made with pie crust, all of which are high-calorie and can be fatty.
BAKE in center of 375°F oven until center is almost set but jiggles slightly when dish is gently shaken and knife inserted near center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes.
BEAT eggs, milk, thyme and salt in medium bowl until blended. Carefully POUR over filling in pie shell. BAKE in center of 375°F oven until center is almost set but jiggles slightly when dish is gently shaken and knife inserted near center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes.
What's the difference between these two egg dishes anyway? In the most basic framework, a quiche has a pie crust and a frittata does not. A quiche is an egg custard pie and a frittata is, well, a crustless quiche.
You can use any shredded cheese you like; one winning combination is havarti, colby, and Parmesan. Quiche is an excellent choice for any meal, including a busy weeknight dinner. It can even be prepared in advance and refrigerated or frozen, then quickly reheated.
You'll need to increase the amount of eggs and milk based on the size of your quiche, so knowing the basic ratio makes it really easy to scale up or down. For a standard 9-inch quiche: Use 3 large eggs (6 ounces) 1 1/2 cups of whole milk or cream (12 ounces)
According to Real Simple, this typically occurs when adding too-wet ingredients to the quiche filling, layering the egg custard with, for example, large slices of raw tomato or raw zucchini. These vegetables, while tasty, have a high water content when raw, which will weep into the quiche as it bakes.
You need to pre-bake the crust first before you add the egg mixture. 10–15 minutes in a 350°F oven should be sufficient. If it is still soggy after that you can seal the crust with an beaten egg wash before adding the filling. The egg wash will seal the crust and not allow the moisture to penetrate it.

Baked quiche should be removed from the oven before the center is completely set. The center will jiggle slightly when cup or dish is gently shaken. Quiche will continue to “cook” after it's removed and center will firm up quickly. Over baked quiche may curdle.
One reason your frittata is soggy, is that an ingredient you used had water or other liquid that was released when cooking the frittata. One solution, is to drain all ingredients first before mixing, or to reheat the ingredients seperately, until the liquid is removed.
