Recipe Card of Classic Quiche Lorraine
This Classic Quiche Lorraine features a rich custard filling with crispy bacon and cheese nestled in a flaky pastry crust. It's a perfect dish for brunch, lunch, or a light dinner.
Ingredients list
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 6 slices bacon diced
- 1 cup gruyere cheese shredded
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg freshly grated
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and prick the bottom with a fork.
- In a skillet, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and drain on paper towels.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.
- Sprinkle the shredded gruyere cheese and cooked bacon evenly over the pie crust. Pour the egg mixture over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and add mushrooms or spinach. Quiche Lorraine pairs well with a side salad for a complete meal.
