Toss Swiss cheese with flour; sprinkle over onion. In a bowl, whisk the eggs, cream and salt. Pour evenly over cheese., Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 10 minutes.

BACON AND SWISS QUICHE

Steps:

• In medium bowl, mix flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost leaves side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary).
• Gather pastry into a ball. Shape into flattened round on lightly floured surface. Wrap flattened round of pastry in plastic wrap and refrigerate about 45 minutes or until dough is firm and cold, yet pliable. This allows the shortening to become slightly firm, which helps make the baked pastry more flaky. If refrigerated longer, let pastry soften slightly before rolling.
• Heat oven to 425°F. Roll pastry on lightly floured surface, using floured rolling pin, into circle 2 inches larger than upside-down 9-inch quiche dish or glass pie plate. Fold pastry into fourths; place in quiche dish or pie plate. Unfold and ease into dish, pressing firmly against bottom and side.
• Sprinkle bacon, cheese and onion in pastry-lined quiche dish. In large bowl, beat eggs slightly with fork or wire whisk. Beat in remaining ingredients. Pour into quiche dish.
• Bake 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 300°F. Bake about 30 minutes longer or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Sprinkle with additional bacon. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

SWISS CHEESE QUICHE WITH MUSHROOMS & ONIONS

Steps:

• Line the quiche dish or 9" pie dish with the pastry crust and crimp the edges. Line inside with a sheet of foil. Fill the crust with uncooked dry beans or pie weights and bake at 400 degrees for 7 minutes. Remove from oven, take out the weights by carefully pulling up the foil, and prick the bottom of the crust with a fork. Continue baking 5 more minutes--the crust should be partially baked, not brown. Let cool. Reduce the oven temperature to 375.
• Make the custard by combining the eggs, cream, wine, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Whisk until blended and set aside.
• Heat butter in a saute pan and add the onions and mushrooms, and a pinch of salt to draw out flavor. Cook only until soft and golden (not browned), about 5 minutes.
• Spread the onions and mushrooms in the partially baked pie shell and sprinkle with the swiss cheese. Cover with custard mixture.
• Bake at 375 for 40 minutes, until puffed and golden. Remove from oven and allow to sit for 15 minutes before cutting.
• Note: I have tried this without the white wine and it does not turn out as well, so don't leave it out. Also, if you have fresh herbs on hand, you can sprinkle those on top before baking or at the table when serving.
