How to Make Potato Crusted Bacon & Gruyere Quiche
- Cook potatoes in simmering salted water until tender. Let cool completely before shredding with a box grater. Mix with melted butter. Season with salt and pepper. Press into well greased 9" tart pan with removable bottom. Bake in preheated 400-degree oven for 25 minutes. Let cool.
- In a skillet, cook bacon until crispy. Remove and add onion to pan. Cook until onion is softened.
Whisk together all filling ingredients.( Mix the cornstarch with a little cream until there are no lumps and then add to the other ingredients). - Pour into cooled crust. Place on a baking sheet.
Bake in preheated 350 F oven for 35 minutes or until set. Let cool for 10 -15 minutes before serving. - This would be a great brunch dish or for people who are on a gluten- free diet.
