Method
 

Making the crust
  1. In a bowl, mix 1 cup of all-purpose flour and a pinch of kosher salt.
  2. Add 8 tablespoons of cold unsalted butter and use a pastry cutter to blend until crumbly.
  3. Gradually add ice water until the dough holds together.
  4. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and fit it into a pie pan.
  5. Chill while you prepare the filling.
Making the filling
  1. Sauté the sliced onion in 1 tablespoon of butter until soft.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together cream, eggs, and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Stir in cooked bacon, sautéed onions, thyme, and shredded Gruyere.
  4. Pour this mixture into the chilled crust.
  5. Bake until set, about 30–35 minutes.

Notes

Serve with a fresh side salad or roasted veggies. Store any leftovers tightly wrapped in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. You can freeze slices in airtight containers for about 2 months; reheat in the oven or microwave until warm.
