Indian Maize

Crustless Quiche

8 thick slices bacon

1 cup shredded Swiss

1/2 cup minced onion

4 eggs, lightly beaten

2 cups cream

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Heat oven to 325F. Butter four oven-ready bowls. (I use 10-ounce crockery bowls that were meant for French onion soup.) Cook bacon until crispy; remove to a paper towel-covered plate. Drain all but a bit (maybe a tablespoon) of the bacon grease. Gently sauté onion in remaining grease until tender. Whisk together eggs, cream, salt and cayenne. Divide bacon, onion and Swiss equally between four prepared bowls. Cover with egg mixture. Bake 35 to 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve while still warm.
