Classic Quiche Lorraine
Here’s a peek at what a lovely Quiche Lorraine looks like, ready to be enjoyed:
Ingredients
For this scrumptious quiche, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
- 6 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup grated Swiss cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Follow these easy steps to whip up your quiche:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan and prick the bottom with a fork. Bake the crust for about 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, and milk until well combined. Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the crumbled bacon evenly over the bottom of the baked pie crust. Then, sprinkle the grated Swiss cheese on top of the bacon.
- Pour the egg mixture over the bacon and cheese, ensuring it is distributed evenly.
- Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for approximately 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Once done, remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy this delicious quiche with friends and family. It pairs wonderfully with a simple side salad or fresh fruit. Bon appétit!
