Quiche Lorraine

A buttery crust filled with smoky bacon, sweet sautéed onions, and creamy Gruyère cheese makes for the perfect centerpiece.

Ingredients:  

  • 1 ~9" Pie Dough
  • 4 Eggs Plus 1 egg white for egg wash
  • 4 Strips of Bacon
  • 1 Medium Onion Diced
  • 1 cup Gruyere Cheese or Swiss, grated
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan grated
  • 1.5 cups Heavy Cream
  • 1/4 tsp. Nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp. Black Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. Kosher Salt

Herb Salad

  • 1 bunch Flat Leaf Parsley
  • 1 small to Medium Shallot
  • Drizzle of Olive Oil
  • Splash of your favorite Vinegar Apple Cider, Balsamic, Red Wine, etc
  • pinch of Kosher Salt
  • pinch of Black Pepper

Instructions: 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Line a 9-10" Pie plate with dough and flute edges. Lay parchment over dough and place dried beans in bottom. Blind bake for 8 minutes.
  • Remove beans and parchment from dough and brush bottom with egg wash and bake for 5 more minutes.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees.
  • Fry or bake bacon. Set bacon on a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve 1 tablespoon of bacon grease for cooking onions.
  • Sauté onions over low to medium heat for about 20 minutes, until lightly caramelized.
  • Grate Gruyere and Parmesan.
  • Whisk together the lightly beaten eggs with cream, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
  • In the pie dough spread a layer of Gruyere, then add the bacon, Parmesan and more Gruyere, add the onions and then top with any remaining Gruyere.
  • Strain the egg mixture through a fine mesh sieve over the pie.
  • Bake for 30 minutes. Check doneness and bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Likely, 10 more minutes.
  • Let the quiche rest for at least 10 minutes.
  • Herb Salad
  • Rough chop herbs, mince the shallot, and place in a bowl.
  • Drizzle olive oil and mix.
  • Add pinches of Kosher salt and pepper.
  • Add a splash of vinegar and mix well.

Tips/Notes

If your quiche is done at the 40-minute mark but the bottom is still under-baked, place the quiche on the bottom rack in the oven and bake for 10-15 more minutes.
