Half-and-Half: This is what makes the filling luxuriously creamy and smooth.

Other Ingredients You’ll Need: Shortening.
Here are the quick steps to make this savory quiche. You'll find the complete, detailed instructions in the full recipe below!
Generously grease your 9-inch pie plate with shortening on the bottom and sides; this makes for easy removal of your quiche slices later.
Make and press the dough evenly into the pie plate, forming a neat edge.
Sprinkle bacon, cheese, and onions over the crust. Then create the egg mixture and pour it over the layered ingredients in your crust.
Bake until you see golden-brown edges and a center that appears set with only a slight jiggle. Remove and wait 10 minutes to allow the filling to set up before serving.
For every slice to be as delightful as the first, proper storage and reheating are key. Follow these simple tips to keep your quiche tasting fresh and delicious, whether you're enjoying it tomorrow or next month.
Store leftover quiche covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Use an airtight container or wrap tightly with plastic wrap to maintain freshness.
For longer storage, freeze quiche by wrapping individual slices tightly in plastic wrap, then foil. Freeze for up to 1 month.
Reheat slices in the microwave or in a 350°F oven until warmed through. For best texture, reheat in the oven to help keep the crust from getting soggy.
Heat oven to 400°F. Grease the bottom and side of a 9-inch pie plate with shortening.
In a large bowl, stir Bisquick and butter until blended. Add boiling water; stir vigorously until a soft dough forms. Press dough in the bottom and up the side of the pie plate, forming an edge on the rim of the plate.
Sprinkle bacon, cheese, and onions over the crust. In a medium bowl, beat half-and-half, eggs, salt, and red pepper with a spoon until blended. Pour into the crust.
Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until the edge is golden brown and the center is set. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
Chop the Canadian bacon, shred the cheese, and slice the onions the day before; store separately in refrigerator. Beat the half-and-half mixture; store covered in refrigerator.
