Prepare a 9 or 10-inch pie plate or quiche pan.

Cook bacon until crisp. Remove from pan, reserving drippings.

Cook onion in bacon drippings until softened.

Sprinkle bacon, onion, and cheese evenly in the pastry shell.

In a separate bowl, lightly beat eggs with light cream, salt, and white pepper.
