Step-by-Step Method
Preheat the oven
Set the oven to 180°C (350°F). Fit the crust into the pan and prick the base with a fork to help prevent bubbling.
Cook the bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon for 4–6 minutes until lightly browned. Drain excess fat.
Mix the egg filling
Whisk the eggs in a bowl. Stir in nutmeg and cayenne, and season lightly if you like. Mix until smooth.
Assemble the quiche
Scatter the bacon over the crust, then add the grated Gruyere. Slowly pour the egg mixture on top.
Bake
Bake on the middle rack for about 30 minutes, until set and lightly golden. The center should not jiggle much.
Rest and slice
Let it rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing so the pieces hold their shape. Serve warm or slightly cooled.
