In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and ice water. Set aside.

In the bowl of a food processor add the flour, salt, and cubed butter. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse sand.

Add in the egg mixture. Pulse again until a dough forms.

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out the dough so that it fits the measurements of your quiche pan.

Gently press the dough into your quiche pan.

Use a sharp knife to slice off any extra dough that's hanging over the edge of the dish.

Freeze the dough for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 400 F.

Line the quiche crust with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the crust starts to become golden.

Remove the pie weights and parchment paper, prick the crust with a fork, place it back in the oven, and bake until the bottom crust is just beginning to brown, about 7-8 minutes. Set aside.

Lower the temperature to 350 F.

While the crust is baking, add the olive oil and onions to a large skillet on medium-low heat.

Cook for 20-30 minutes, until the onions turn golden brown. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, 2 eggs, egg yolk, salt, pepper, and thyme.

Add in the bacon, goat cheese, and caramelized onions and stir until combined.

Pour the egg mixture evenly into the pre-cooked quiche crust.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until the center is just set.

Allow the quiche to cool for 15 minutes, then slice and serve while warm.
