Quiche Lorraine With Bacon and Gruyère

2024-03-20 By : Admin
Quiche Lorraine is a rich egg pie that hails from the mountainous region of Alsace-Lorraine in northern France. Popularly served as a starter, it's also sufficient for a filling meal in itself and is regularly served for breakfast or brunch. Over the years, quiche Lorraine has been adapted from a humble savory custard pie to the substantial cheese, bacon, and egg creation that it is known as today.

Ingredients

  • 1 unbaked pie crust, store-bought or homemade

  • 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1 cup half-and-half

  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt, or to taste

  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper, or to taste

  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

  • 1 cup grated Gruyère cheese

Directions

    1. Gather the ingredients.
    2. Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 375 F. Meanwhile, fit the dough into a 9.5 x 1.6 dish pie tin or plate.
    3. Sprinkle the bacon onto the dough.
    4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, salt, white pepper, and nutmeg. Pour the egg mixture over the bacon and sprinkle with the grated cheese.
