📝 Preparation Steps
1
Set a rack in the middle of your oven and preheat it to 425°F. Next, roll the puff pastry into an 11-inch square and transfer it to a 9-inch diameter pie plate. Then puncture the bottom of the puff pastry a few times with a fork and trim the edges.
2
Cover the puff pastry with a sheet of parchment paper and add a pound of dry beans or pie weights. Then, cover the edges of the pastry with a pie shield or ring made of aluminum foil to prevent them from burning. Bake for fifteen minutes.
3
While the puff pastry par-bakes set a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon strips and cook until crispy. Next, chop the bacon into bits. Set aside the chopped bacon and reserve the drippings.
4
Remove the puff pastry from the oven. Carefully remove the pie shield. Then carefully remove the parchment paper with the beans or pie weights.*
5
Cook the onion in the bacon drippings until translucent (about ⏱️ 2 minutes). Next, add the garlic clove and cook until fragrant (about ⏱️ 1 minute).

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, heavy cream, and milk until smooth.

7
Add the beaten eggs, shredded Swiss cheese, cooked onions and garlic, nutmeg, salt, and freshly ground pepper. Finally, set aside 2 tablespoons of chopped bacon for garnish and add the rest to the filling. Stir well.

9
Cover the edges of the quiche with a pie shield or aluminum foil ring. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling sets, about ⏱️ 25 minutes. Remove the pie shield and cool the quiche for ⏱️ 10 minutes before serving. Finally, garnish with remaining bacon bits and chopped Italian parsley.*
