Steps

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• In a food processor, combine the flour, butter, and salt. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and pulse until the dough comes together.
• Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and shape it into a disk. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish. Press the dough into the dish and trim any excess.
• In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg.
• Sprinkle the bacon and Swiss cheese evenly over the pie crust.
• Pour the egg mixture over the bacon and cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set and golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tips

• You can make the pie crust ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 2 days.
• Serve the quiche warm or at room temperature.
• Feel free to add other ingredients like sautéed onions or mushrooms to the filling for extra flavor.
