Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
Cook bacon in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels and drain. Add yellow onion to same skillet and sauté until tender, about 2 minutes. Add arugula and sauté until just wilted, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add balsamic vinegar; toss to combine.
Whisk cream, eggs, salt, and pepper in a large bowl to blend. Stir in the cheese and set aside. Sprinkle the bacon over the crust and then the arugula/onion mixture. Pour the egg mixture into the crust, over the bacon and arugula.
