Simple Quiche Lorraine Recipe

In French cuisine, a quiche is a baked dish that is made primarily of eggs and milk or cream in a pastry crust. Quiche is a savory custard tart, originally from northern France, where it's a popular lunch for farmers. Other ingredients such as chopped meat, vegetables, or cheese are often added to the egg mixture before the quiche is baked.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 pre-made pie pastry for a 9 inch single crust pie
  • 12 slices bacon
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1/3 cup minced onion
  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups light cream
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  2. Place bacon in a large skillet, and fry over medium-high heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels, then chop coarsely. Sprinkle bacon, cheese and onion into pastry shell.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, salt, and cayenne pepper. Pour mixture into pastry shell.
  4. Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce heat to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C), and bake an additional 30 minutes, or until a knife inserted 1 inch from edge comes out clean. Allow quiche to sit 10 minutes before cutting into wedges.
