2. Fry Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, fry the bacon until crispy. Once done, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.

3. Saute Onions: Using the same skillet, remove most of the bacon fat, then sauté the chopped onions until they are browned and caramelized.

4. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, and white pepper until well combined.

5. Assemble Quiche: Place the pie crust into a prepared pie dish. Crumble the cooked bacon onto the bottom of the pie crust. Next, add the sautéed onions on top of the bacon, followed by the crumbled blue cheese. Finally, sprinkle the grated Swiss cheese evenly over the other ingredients.

6. Pour Egg Mixture: Carefully pour the prepared egg mixture over the contents of the pie crust, ensuring that it is evenly distributed.

7. Bake: Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the filling is slightly set.

8. Reduce Heat: After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the center of the quiche is fully set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy this delicious Rochester Quiche warm or at room temperature.
