French Cuisine: Quiche Lorraine

Quiche Lorraine 

Ingredients:

• 1 pre-made pie crust
• 6 slices of bacon, diced
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 cup grated Gruyère cheese
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup milk
• Salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust in a tart pan and prick the bottom with a fork. Pre-bake for 10 minutes.
• In a skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Remove and set aside, then sauté onions in the bacon fat until soft.
• Sprinkle bacon, onions, and cheese evenly over the pie crust. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Pour over the bacon mixture.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the quiche is set and golden brown on top.
• Let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, often with a side salad.
