Quiche Lorraine

Just discovered last night that the old standby, Quiche Lorraine, never made it on to the blog, so here you are.

Quiche Lorraine


Pre-bake one pie crust.  450 degrees for 8 minutes works nicely, poke with a fork half way through to get rid of bubbles, or use pie weights.

Pillsbury crusts are good if you don't have time to make one but I don't recommend the frozen or generic.  Best if you can make your own but it is time consuming.

Ingredients:

8 slices bacon, crispy and cut up
1 bunch green (spring) onions cut up and sauteed

8 ounces Swiss cheese: I use a blend of Gruyere and Emmental

Fillling:

Mix together:

Six eggs, whisked
1 cup whipping cream
1 tsp salt
1 tsp white pepper
1 tsp cayenne


Add bacon, onions, and half the cheese to the baked crust.  Pour in egg/cream mixture and top with rest of cheese.  Grate some nutmeg over the top and bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.  Remove and let rest for about ten minutes.
