By hlovell

Guinness braised sweet caramelized onions baked into a savoury aged white cheddar quiche with a light and flaky, buttery crust.

Ingredients

• 4 slices bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces
• 1 pound onions, sliced
• 1/2 cup Guinness
• 2 teaspoons grainy mustard
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup cream
• 4 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 cup aged white cheddar, shredded
• cayenne, salt and pepper to taste
• 1 pie crust, rolled out and fitted to a pie plate, chilling in the fridge

Preparation

Step 1

Cook the bacon in a pan oven medium heat until crispy and set aside on paper towels to drain reserving the grease in the pan.
Add the onions and saute until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Add 1/4 cup Guinness and simmer until the liquid has mostly evaporated, about 15 minutes and repeat.
Remove from heat and mix in the grainy mustard and Worcestershire sauce and place in a large bowl. Mix in the bacon, cream, eggs and 1/2 of the cheese and season with cayenne, salt and pepper.
Pour the mixture in to the pie crust and top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in a preheated 375F oven until golden brown on top and set in the center, about 25-30 minutes.
