Method
 

Make the Crust
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cold butter, salt, and baking powder until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice-cold water, mixing until the dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Prepare the Oven
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll Out Dough
  1. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a lightly floured surface until it's about 1/8-inch thick. Transfer to a pie plate.
Par-Bake Crust
  1. Place the prepared crust in the preheated oven and par-bake for 10 minutes, or until it starts to set.
Prep Potatoes
  1. Peel and slice the russet potatoes into thin rounds. Cook in salted boiling water for about 5 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.
Make the Filling
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half and half, heavy cream, Swiss cheese, green onions, bacon, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
Combine Ingredients
  1. Gently fold the boiled potato slices into the egg mixture. Pour the filling into the par-baked crust.
Bake the Quiche
  1. Return the assembled quiche to the oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the filling is set and golden brown.
Cool & Serve
  1. Let the quiche cool for about 10-15 minutes before slicing.
