Quiche Lorraine Recipe
Savor every bite of this classic Quiche Lorraine Recipe—loaded with crisp bacon, gooey cheese, and a dreamy egg custard encased in a buttery pastry.
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch pie crust store-bought or homemade
- 6 ounces thick-cut bacon diced
- 1 cup Gruyère cheese shredded
- 3 large eggs room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place the chilled pie crust in a 9-inch tart pan and gently press into the edges.
- Dock the bottom, line with foil, and bake. Remove weights and foil and bake until edges turn golden.
- Cook diced bacon until brown and crisp. Drain on paper towels.
- Whisk together eggs, cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until smooth and frothy.
- Scatter bacon in the crust, layer with cheese, then pour egg-cream mixture over.
Notes
Room-temperature ingredients blend smoothly. Chill assembled quiche for extra flakiness. Hot sauce in custard adds depth without heat.
