Caramelized Onion, Zucchini and Bacon Quiche

Has to be the BEST quiche I have ever made.  I think I could have polished the whole one off on my own.  I had to restrain myself from having a third slice; which is a good thing and also a bad thing(quiche isn't the lowest calorie dish, but SO worth it!)

It also was pretty easy to make and only took me about 20 minutes of prepping, which was pretty simple stuff and easily done with a little one (you can run go check on them and not worry about anything burning).  You also know that if your hubby enjoyed the meal it was worth every second to make it for him; especially after a long day of work.

Shopping List
1) 7 Eggs

2) 8 slices Microwavable Bacon (you can use normal, but this just was easier for my sanity)

3) Greyere Cheese or if you don't like spending the much money on cheese Colby Jack works well

4) 1 Sweet Onion

5) 1 Smallish to Medium sized Zucchini

6) Grey Poupon Mustard

7) 1 Refrigerated Pie Crust 

***********************************************************************************
To start, preheat your oven to 350.

Then slice your onion into moon shape slices, somewhat thin.  In a pan with about 2 tablespoons of olive oil caramelize your onions (add salt and pepper to taste).  Cook for about 15-20 minutes.

Dice your zucchini, microwave your bacon, shred about a 1 cup to 1 1/2 cups cheese and place your pie crust into a pie pan.

With about 5 minutes left on the onions add your zucchini to the pan and about 1 tablespoon grey poupon mustard.  Stir.

Tear bacon into bite sized pieces and in a bowl beat your 7 eggs, add a small bit of milk and salt and pepper.

In the pie pan layer first your cheese, then the onion and zucchini mixture, next the bacon and finally the eggs.

Let cook on top rack for 35 minutes and then let sit for 5 and serve.  So good...I might go get another piece myself.  HAHA
