• 4 slices Bacon
• 3 large Eggs
• 3/4 cup Heavy cream
• 1/2 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp Black pepper
• 1/8 tsp Nutmeg(optional)
• 1 tbsp Fresh chives, chopped(optional)

   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Press the pie crust into a small tart or pie pan and crimp the edges.

   Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels, then crumble into pieces.

3. 3

   In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until smooth and well combined.

4. 4

   Scatter the crumbled bacon, Gruyère cheese, and chives evenly over the crust, then pour the custard mixture on top.

5. 5

   Bake for 35-40 minutes until the center is just set and the top is lightly golden. A knife inserted in the middle should come out clean.

6. 6

   Let the quiche rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing into 2 servings and serving warm.
