A classic Quiche Lorraine is a delightful French tart filled with bacon, Gruyère cheese, and a creamy egg custard. It’s perfect for brunch, lunch, or a light dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion (optional)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups half-and-half or heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place the unbaked pie crust on a baking sheet.
  3. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon, shredded Gruyère cheese, and chopped onion (if using) evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half or heavy cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.
  5. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the bacon and cheese in the pie crust.
  6. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
  7. Let the quiche cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For a crispier crust, blind bake the pie crust for 10 minutes before adding the filling.
  • You can substitute other cheeses like Swiss or cheddar if Gruyère is not available.
  • Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
