Cheese and bacon quiche
Preheat the oven to fairly hot 400°F (Gas Mark 6, 200°C). Place the pie shell on a baking sheet.
Cover the bottom of the pie shell with the cheese slices, then cover with the crumbled bacon. Set aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream, eggs, salt and pepper and beat well to blend. Pour the mixture over the cheese.
Place the baking sheet in the center of the oven and bake the quiche for 25-30 minutes or until the filling is set and firm and golden brown on top.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and serve the quiche at once, if you are serving it hot.
